Black and White Tales, Print #47

Another week and few more to go before the end of this project. A week that made me think how we arrived at the use of atomic bombs to stop a war after more than 60 millions casualties.

This is just an example but every day the same happens and most of the time does not even make the news. Some people already decided to give up and suicide because they cannot produce anymore and they have no more a way to survive but are just accumulating debts. This situation made me think about what can we do, as individuals, to keep ourselves free and not fall in the darkness of the European past. This week the video is a little longer, sorry, but I felt the need to express my thinking in a proper way […]
