PATHS OF HATE

Damian Nenow - Poland, 2010, 10'



Focus on fight. The dimension of fighting is irrelevant, as well as the ideology behind it. It does not matter whether two people are involved or millions. What remains are only scars - bloody traces, paths of hate. "Paths of Hate" is a short tale about the demons that slummer deep in the human soul and have the power to push people into the abyss of blind hate, fury and rage. Falling into that abyss inevitably leads to downright destruction and extinction.
