The Approach
• Overview of perspectives o The ‘epilogues’
DVD ‘Perspectives
in Conflict’ contains the personal testimony of 27 individuals who
had direct experience of the conflict. While no resource could represent all
perspectives, the DVD strives to be inclusive and these individuals were
selected so as to capture the broad spectrum of perspectives that characterise
the conflict. o The testimonies are edited so that participants find their perspective
represented they also find it challenged by the perspective of the ‘other’. o Each of the programme’s six themes is introduced by selected extracts from TV
dramas that explore the conflict. These extracts function as dramatic
illustrations of the respective themes that the interviews go on to explore in
greater depth. o The idea of government of the people by the people is generally accepted
(certainly in the west) as the best form of governance in terms of moral force
because it enables human freedom. It is for these reasons that the project
frames its exportation within the model of a democratic society. |
