Behind the Door Lurks a Monster
Personal account of Falkland born artist James Peck, who took Argentine citizenship to live with his two children and whose father was a war hero during the 1982 conflict on the British side. Reflective and unedited it's unassuming style does contain some gems on self examination as well as a critique of the political situation, both before and after the conflict.
