‘I lost my way. Twelve years underground, isolation, different names, a lost self. I had arrived at a deeply wrong way of responding to social problems. Prison lies at the end of a road taken. ... now more than twenty years in prison, I share with other women daily issues of parenting, education, and health. I have turned sixty. I think about how do we protect our planet’ These profound words are from Kathy Boudin, a convicted terrorist and founding member of the US militant Weather Underground organization. The group engaged in bombings of government buildings to express opposition to U.S. foreign policy and racism.
The second narrative unfolds after enduring two serious crimes without support. Our character finds themselves in a psych-ICU-prison, where they encounter Kathy Boudin's words. This unbelievable and true tale is rife with ridiculous and cruel absurdities. Beginning in a psych-ICU-prison and concluding in a river with water cooling and drowning the insane narrative, it liberates our character as a kingfisher gracefully flies past. Witness an extraordinary journey that challenges perceptions and captivates audiences with its raw, emotional intensity.
