This programme deals not so much with the incompatibility of human beings with their technology, but with their lack of mercy for their fellow creatures. Night's High Noon highlights the violent influence of Australian colonial culture on the Aborigines. The relationship between humans and animals is the theme of the bizarre video Beaver Skull Magick, which employs two very different source materials. Good Boy - Bad Boy reflects on the schizophrenic relationship of dominance involved in animal training, and Coms Device relates a horrific event at a Palestinian checkpoint. I'm Not the Enemy probes the highly disturbed psyche of a war-veteran, and Tse, featuring a provocative exorcism, highlights the deep schisms within Israeli society.
