[QUOTE="nlj, post: 637830, member: 17650"] That's really interesting Suzir. A documentary film-maker has been following the squatting community where my son lives and has been interviewing the members of the group about their lives and experiences and philosophy. My son sent me a recording of a 60 min interview with him (I rec'd it this morning in fact), in which he talks about his childhood, experiences since he left home and his view of his current life and why he has ended up in this place. I'm not sure how honest he is being in the interview, but it is strange to hear his own perspective on things and how, in some respects, this differs greatly from the perspective of his family. He 'opens up' in this recording far more than he has ever done to me, and discusses things that I have a completely different memory of and interpretation of. Sending me this recording is obviously his way of telling me things that he doesn't feel he can say in person. It is deeply and excruciatingly sad as you say, but at least they are communicating with us and trying to explain things to us, trying to share their own "narrative". [/QUOTE]
