18,000 DEAD IN GORDON HEAD
(Winnipeg, 13 min)

Clive Holden's latest and last in his trilogy including Gordon's Head and Hitler! It uses the audio track by that name from his Trains Of Winnipeg spoken word CD his poem about an incident he witnessed of a girl shot by a sniper in Gordon Head and a rash of other violent incidents that he encountered, and a reflection on how much violence a child growing up witnesses on TV.

I feel it will bring forward good discussion about the burden to ones mental health that recent world news has had. Many who are sensitive can be sunk by exposure to the ever present aweful, depressing and paranoia causing world news. The World Trade Centre destruction images added about 6,000 more dead in one fell swoop to that burden. Very haunting soundtrack accompanyment 13:07 min Clive is coming to the Fest
