Subject: RE: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film
Hi Guitar:
That is a rather interesting comment. I went into a war zone with a camera, spoke to soldiers and paramilitaries, civilians on all sides, tried to being the story of what I found to a nation where there was no press censorship from a nation where press censorship was enforced at the point of a gun - several press photographers were shot at by the British army - warning shots over their heads, well... it it was not an interest in the truth, what do you think I was doing there? Truths don't just sit on the surface of any situation, one must dig, search out, and in doing so one learns that there is not a single truth, there are truths and there is honesty. All any of us can hope for is honesty.
So, if you think my repeted call here for a truth and reconcilliation process is a lack of interest in THE truth, as it might not yet by YOUR truth... well, what can I say?
All the best
