A film by Cosey Fanni Tutti, originally commissioned for the Taboo Festival of Eroticism on the 6th March 1986. Statement: Expression of oneself and of the hidden voice so seldom heard or heeded is an action of unequal power. Releasing and acknowledging all that you are to yourself allows growth of spirit. Creativity on every level begins with ourselves. Suppression brings us only screaming souls locked within empty lives. I wish for every voice to be heard, even as a whisper... Cosey Fanni Tutti 1986
