"The Stories We Tell": Experimental Shorts Program
Soldier / Bomber is an animation that combines images of Canadian Captain Nichola Sarah Goddard who was recently killed in Afghanistan and the oldest successful female Palestinian suicide bomber Fatima Omar Mahmud al Najar. I am interested in the ambiguity of their actions – a common conviction in ideal and principles of freedom lead both women to a malignant death, one that took out other lives with their own sacrifice.
