| Anthem: An Act of Sedition |
This version of
Anthem (re-cut in late 2005) is Tahir Cambis (
Exile in Sarajevo) and Helen Newman's personal testament to lives caught up in a transformed, post-9/11 world.
From interviews with bounty hunters in Afghanistan and war correspondents in Baghdad to sobering accounts of asylum-seekers caught up in Australia's mandatory detention system,
Anthem raises fundamental questions about the currency of freedoms and values co-opted in service of the 'War on Terror'.
Combining reportage and polemic,
Anthem is ultimately a provocative meditation on the nature of democracy, freedom and nationalism.
Includes Q&A with Tahir Cambis and Helen Newman.
