Bangkok Joyride 5: Dancing with Death
Synopsis
As before, there is no narration, no special VIP access, no set up; only direct experience on the streets which those who rule the world do not want us to remember. Part 5 of Shutdown Bangkok’s forbidden history from 2014, that marathon exercise in mass ahimsa Thai style, covers the blood-soaked Valentine’s “week they killed the children”–in central Bangkok by RPG rocket and in Trad by sniper fire. As the violence gets more explicit and protesters turn police cars into installation art, reality itself, as reflected in the film, becomes correspondingly more horrific and absurd. PS: Now that they have the full taste of their own Mr T Rex, American Anti-Trump protesters might even realise they have a lot to learn from people they’ve been calling undemocratic savages.
