The title Time Like Zeros is taken from a comment by one of eight female prisoners who narrate the film, as she contemplates the life sentence stretching ahead of her. It is echoed visually in the camera movement that encircles the prison, and in the circles of razor wire that whiz by as the scene moves from the exterior fence to the darkest cells of the prison. A sense of community and compassion can be sensed in the women's voices, yet contrasts with the footage shot by guards as they chain down a woman in the segregation unit.

PROGRAMA CASTELLANO PDF
Videos Talks Debates.
The border has a tendency to spread: it explodes into outsourcing to third countries, and implodes as domestic borders, control devices, detentions and disappearances...; in other words, it tends to occupy the entire system, becoming centre. In the shadows of the border-as-system, where control is out of control, the prototype of a totalitarian society is assembled.
Around the subject of migration there are a series of crucial lapses or ‘forgettings’, which not only hinder in-depth reflection but also fuel exclusionary visions There first of these is the colonial lapse – we have forgotten the close ties between migration and coloniality, and its global mutation. The second lapse springs from limiting our reflections on migration to the spheres of politics, policing, economics, demographics and humanitarian action... but rarely considering it in terms of knowledge and wisdom, of which we are truly in need. A third lapse consists of labelling people “immigrants”, creating the corresponding imaginary and confining them within it... failing to remember that all of us in fact migrate between different territories, spaces, times, and forms of knowledge.

The shocking truth about the erosion of our fundamental civil liberties by Tony Blair's government. The Right to Protest, the Right to Freedom of Speech. The Right to Privacy. The Right not to be detained without charge, Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Prohibition from Torture. Taking Liberties will reveal how these six central pillars of liberty have been systematically destroyed by New Labour, and the freedoms of the British people stolen from under their noses amidst a climate of fear created by the media and the government itself. Irreverent but revelatory, outrageous but true, the program combines these real stories of the loss of liberty with never-before-seen footage, cheeky stunts and comment from leading politicians, celebrities, human rights organisations, academics and lawyers, which all add up to make Taking Liberties one of the most explosive and controversial films of the decade.
