Kuwait

Video: Oil well fires in Kuwait

I have to lead the discussion in my senior seminar tomorrow and one of the topics we are looking at this week was also mentioned in Environmental Writing today. The overlaps continue.
I really enjoy the artistic aspect of this film. The use of the x-ray effect is really powerful in the shots of the endless piles of debris. I also really like how it works backwards, showing the scorched earth before the actual destruction. The music is also very stimulating, moving my senses to the feelings provoked by the oil-stained images.
