[spectre] The Story of Boris

[Josephine Bosma]

I would like to point Spectre members to/at (which is it?) about war 
trauma called 'The Story of Boris'. The idea of this project seems to be 
to show or reveal some of the invisible damage created by war. It is 
also a discussion piece, so viewers can leave comments in the blog and 
even fill in a form in which they give their view (observation) of 'the 
patient' during particular sessions with a psychiatrist. I wonder what 
you guys make of this. I don't know if any of it is 'real'.


see:


http://www.thestoryofboris.com

The press blurb is in Dutch, but here are some (roughly) translated bits...

"Flimfilm presents the story of Boris, the story of a war victim who 
tries to unravel what happened in the war he escaped from. Was he victim 
or perpetrator? Good or bad? An observation camera registers the 
sessions of the refugee with his psychiatrist"

"In thestoryofboris.com" PTSS (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) is 
revealed in an innovative way. Each week new sessions and other 
important material is published, in order to present an indepth file in 
twelve weeks.(....)"

The Story of Boris is a project by Jan Pieter Tuinstra and Thomas Blom.
