The Passing of Pip Starr

'I believe documentary should be beautiful and entertaining as well as emotionally and intellectually stimulating. I have always been inspired by the work of activists and others who have a long-term vision for the world that is about peace and real sustainability.’
   * PipStarr, 2007

Through the Wire
