Breaking News

Sunday 6 May 2007, 17.00

This programme begins to unpick some causes and effects, actions and reactions to conflict, militarisation and bereavement. More specifically the works included address forces brought to bear through propaganda, subliminal messages, instinctual drives and psychological scarring. Although treated separately, seeing these works together may allow connections and responsibilities to become visible that often remain obscure.
