Film At 11: The Unravelling

Calgary’s the Unravelling states that with its 13 Arcane Hymns debut, it wants to be “cathartic and inspiring.” Well, even if you don’t emotionally purge yourself with the actual LP, you can get a good dose off the duo’s video for album track “Fire Breather,” a montage of news clips concerning the intensive struggle of the Tibetan people. The graphic nature of the video requires a warning label for those not expecting a terrifying history lesson, as the Unravelling definitely gets its graphic message across. From the infamous burning-monk photo of Thích Quảng Đức in the ’60s to current street riots, the video is a highlight reel of fiery moments in Tibetan history. Those not in favor of actually viewing the terrors, fear not: The song still passes along the same politically charged messages.
