Abstract

This chapter offers a critical account of a docu-drama that portrays a group suicide of some ethnic left-behind children to question the dehumanisation of those unwanted others by the ruling class, which is accompanied by the bankruptcy of trust in the interdependency between photogenic reality, its authenticity, and credibility.
