I would travel out there again but that last trip to London pretty well drained my Visa :^).

Really-From: nbc%inf.rl.ac.uk@mitvma.mit.edu Just for the record - the two people who Kate spoke on behalf of in the Prisoners of Conscience spot last Thursday on BBC 2 were both South Koreans imprisoned by their government for supposedly collaborating with the North. Kate described their work, the reasons why they had been imprisoned and their current condition (as far as it was known). They were Hong Song-Dam a woodcut artist and Chang Ui-gyun a poet. Both had been jailed under feeble contexts and tortured. I have no information as to whether Kate chose these people herself from a list offered by Amnesty International or whether she offered her services for whoever they wanted to select.

Really-From: nbc%inf.rl.ac.uk@mitvma.mit.edu >From: Andrew B Marvick <abm4@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu> >Thanks to all for the timely descriptions of the _Passing_Through_Air_ CD >and (to Neil) for mention of Kate on _Prisoners_of_Conscience_. Neil, >please let us know: did Kate actually appear on camera? If so, for what proportion of total programme-time? What did the film look like? >Was there any sign of who wrote the text that Kate read? Was there any >music? Etc. Thanks. Kate spoke directly to camera during both programmes which as I said earlier were each only 5 minutes in duration. Kate was seated and seen in either head and shoulder shots or from the waist up. Kate spoke for the entire programme and there were intercuts of photos of the two men and their families and, in the case of the artist, photos of some of his work. Kate spoke in a very formal, pronounced style; almost certainly from an autocue. The script gave quite detailed accounts of the two men, their work, and their treatment by the state. I would say it was highly unlikely that Kate wrote it. The programmes did not have any credits at the end to indicate who had been involved in their making (someone within Amnesty International almost certainly). There was no music during the programmes but each one (there were 2 such programmes each day for a fortnight) began and ended with a piece of music which sounded like a Peter Gabriel tune (perhaps some other UK Lovehound knows what this was?)
