Thread: Documentary Bali Terroist Attacks.

I am in the research stages of a documentary and the working title of the piece is "Love Hate Love." It will be 3 or 4 vignettes woven together into a feature length documentary. The stories will all center around a person who lost a loved one because of a terrorist attack and since that day has committed to making the world a better place, letting love shine through the hatred of the attacks.
This quote really sums up what we are wanting to convey: "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love the only survival, the only meaning." Thorton Wilder
If you or someone you know in Bali would be interested in participating in this project please let me know.
Thank you.

Hmm...highly interesting! I wonder who could that be. I suggest you read some of the last strings here and you'll see if there's a lot of love going on in here in order to pick the one who could play that role on your documentary.
I wish you luck just the same.

Shadrock, welcome to the forum and good luck with your documentary.

You mention 3 or 4 vignettes, and each of these will be about a person who lost a loved one in the first Bali bomb. Just thinking “out load”, does that mean you would like a person from each of the four groups most effected by the bombing, viz., western (particularly Australian), Balinese, and other than Balinese Indonesian, and other Asian? Or in other words, are you looking for cultural and religious diversity within your three or four vignettes?

Also, are you looking for diversity within the relationship (or meaning of the loved one) among this group as in the loss of a spouse, son or daughter, father or mother, sister or brother, etc?

As a suggestion, especially considering the very sensitive nature of your project, you might consider telling us more about yourself, where you are, what other work in this field you have accomplished, and so on.

Thanks for responding. We are looking for any relationship among victims and survivors. The scope of the film will represent all the various attacks in the last 7 years, covering NYC, Bali, Madrid and London. At this time we are trying to get names of people, contact information and a brief idea of what their individual story is about.

Thanks for your reply, and additional clarification. Without knowing more about you...which you can send via PM, I am reluctant to offer any information I have about any of the Balinese I know who lost loved ones in the Bali bombing. I can understand your reluctance to make this information public on this forum, but I’m sure you can see things from my perspective as well. Cheers and good luck with your project.

Will all the profits be returned to families of the victims or NPO's representing world peace?

Makes sense that if one were to produce a documentary on these tragic events, then sell it to networks, that the profits be returned to the victims..

As for love being a bridge.. Hmm, yes, that sounds nice.. "Love is a bridge" will magically destroy all of man's greed will it?
