PROGRAM 7: CHEAT-CHEAT-LIED
Streaming June 9 – 13, Artist Q&A on Saturday, June 12 at 4:30pm

Who won the battle, and who’s losing the war? A profound disconnect between the political feeling in the air and its actual manifestation on the ground has defined daily life in recent years. With no clear end in sight, these brief dispatches from the United States, Germany, Sri Lanka, and Palestine focus on sacrifices made and victories won in a new era of exhaustion and fear.
