In a repeat of history the plight of the oppressed are compared 60 years apart - Berlin 1945 and London 2005
PAPERS PAPERS PLEASE
BERLIN 1945: A man is walking towards a train station. The country is at war. There is a heavy presence of police in uniform and plainclothes. Security is tight. The man senses he is being followed. He breaks into a profuse sweat. He quickens his pace. The men walk faster too. From them a word is shouted, "HALT!" The man feels a pain like a thousand shards of ice piercing his eyes. He panics; he runs. The men run after him. A gun bolt is c0cked. People scatter for cover, shots ring out, the man falls dead and an eerie silence overwhelms. The 'flight' for freedom is lost.
LONDON 2005: A man is walking towards a train station. The country is at war. There is a heavy presence of police in uniform and plainclothes. Security is tight. The man senses he is being followed. He breaks into a profuse sweat. He quickens his pace. The men walk faster too. From them a word is shouted, "STOP!" The man feels a pain like a thousand shards of ice piercing his eyes. He panics; he runs. The men run after him. A pistol is produced. People scatter for cover, the man is tackled to the ground, shots ring out, the man dies and eerie silence overwhelms. The 'flight' for freedom is lost. Fascism has returned in all its evil macinations. The fallen have died in vain. The fight for freedom begins anew.
