Honour Bound
At first glance, Honour Bound might just seem like a performative biography of Australian David Hicks and his incarceration at Guantanamo Bay. So complex, intelligent and intense is the story's telling, however, that it decimates such simplifications at every level. Through powerful, breathtaking choreography, video and audio footage from Hicks's parents and officials, and huge, Matrix-like scrolling internal governmental papers and accounts from fellow detainees, the cage in which his harrowing tale occurs becomes electrified, its vividness at once a pleasure and an assault on every sense. It may not be the easiest of ways to spend your weekend, but Honour Bound is an absolute treasure. |
