Full Description
Part of the compilation of Rights 2, a series of public service
advertisements on human rights issues. Quenching Fire focuses on the
long history of political repression in the Philippines described by
the use of water cannons to stop legitimate demonstrations. It touches
slightly on the lack of government service of supplying water to common
households, while using water (cannons) to quench the people's rage.
The state, however, only further fans the fire of the resistance.
