- Summary:
- VAPOR TRAIL (CLARK) is a documentary essay exploring circumstances of toxic contamination around the former US military bases in the Philippines as the locus for a meditation on historical amnesia, colonial privilege, and the consequences of unchecked militarism. Interweaving both cinéma-vérité and interview footage of Filipino victims and their families, environmental spokespersons, and community activists, along with early photographic material pertaining to the Philippine-American War, partisan songs, historical texts, and landscape photography, VAPOR TRAIL (CLARK) is an attempt to construct a work capable of rendering some measure of this human and environmental tragedy and the complexities of its remedy
