As If Struck by a Blitz
Alternate Titles
- As If Struck by a Blitz: The scene is reminiscent of World War II wherein the small homes of villagers were bombarded by conquering armies. But these are ruins of the village of Sesetan, on Indonesia's fabled island of Bali. The house was destroyed by anti-communist mobs in December and the communist residents slain.
