Description | Descent Three in 'The Year of Descent Series'. "In Sweet Staccato Rising', we meet two teenagers struggling to survive on the poverty line. In their world there's nothing to do and nothing matters... it is a stark representation of the emptiness of life for these kids... it highlights how the widespread destruction of our public health, education system and the employment sector leaves a generation with no future and nothing to live for." |
