When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.

Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up, to stay oppressed, there will come a time when they say 'That's it.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing, simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom.

If you can make people understand why freedom is so important through the arts, that would be a big help.
