Film by Mark Jenkin

An observation on the destructive nature of Late Capitalism on our collective culture

DEN HEB TAVES

Ow rydhsus, ow rydhsus yw rewys
Devnydhoryon, devnydhoryon freudhek

Den heb taves, 
Den heb taves re gollas

Ow dywlyv, ow dywlyv mostes
Helghiorion, helghiorion hunlev

A TONGUELESS MAN

My freedom, my freedom is frozen
Consumers, consumers are violent

A tongueless man, 
A tongueless man has lost

My hands, my hands are filthy
Hunters, hunters of dreams
