Bangkok Joyride 3: Singing at Funerals

Overview

‘Singing at Funerals’, part 3 of the Bangkok Joyride saga of the epic 7-month long Shutdown Bangkok protest, records the first 2 weeks of the occupation of Bangkok, 15 – 26 January 2014. From superstar academics Teacher Lily and Dr Seri’s hysterical impersonations of PM Yingluck on stage, to the fatal bomb at Bantad-Tong; from a funeral march down Rama 4 road past Hualumpong railway station, to the government’s Centre for Peace and Order’s declaration of Emergency Rule, propelling ever more people to death-defying civil disobedience. As the endless literal strings of cash stream into the protest fund from the freedom-intoxicated multitude and the city becomes a vast camping ground, the government seeks help from its big brother Uncle Sam, prompting protesters to pass by the US embassy and the upset military to stir. The noodle cook-out at Asoke camp and the omlette being fried on Art Lane, as volunteers feed the masses, will leave you hungry.
