“Nobody but Sarah Nuttall could have put together such a stellar collection to make the unanswerable case for filmmaker Penny Siopis as an artist of unique aesthetic and social significance. Forged in the political fires of South Africa, Siopis’s ravishing, demanding films resonate across the global landscape. This will be a must-read anthology for anyone interested in how artistic practice can help create a path away from cruelty toward a world of freedom and justice.” - Jacqueline Rose, author of (The Plague: Living Death in Our Times)
