Revisions.

This short film uses doctored archival footage to visually examine to what degree actions (in this case, acts of force or violence) define who we are.  By removing either perpetrator or victim, one is left only with the act or the effect of the act.
Music excerpted from Judd Greenstein's 'Grosse Tugenden'
