Synopsis
Commissioned by e-flux for the 13th Seoul Mediacity Biennale, Narrative follows the filmmaker as she prepares a staged courtroom trial examining the Thai government's culpability in the 2010 Bangkok massacre of pro-democracy protesters. Blending witness testimony with research, the film meditates on truth, justice and the ongoing absence of official accountability.
