Slow Burn

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

Slow Burn

Slow Burn is a powerful account of how Danny Fenton tries to reclaim his mother’s story, an account of how he tried to give meaning to a life he feels has been unjustly stolen. In letters, journals, newspaper reports and interviews, we follow Danny and his sister Cath on a journey which carries us far beyond the simple idea of payback and into the realms of the green warrior. Here is a deeply personal vision of our damaged world, and of those who would like to change it.
