In some timem make the time, to drive out west,

into County Claire along the flaggy shore n

September or October, when the wind and the

light are working off each other, so that the ocean

1:02:06

Page 9: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

on one side is wild with foam and glitter, and

inland amongst stones, the surface of a slate gray

lake is lit with the earth lightning of a flock of

swans, their feathers roughed and roughling and

white on white, their fully grown headstrong

looking heads tucked or cresting or busy under

water, useless to think you’ll park and capture it

more thoroughly, you’re neither here nor there, a

hurry through which known and strange things

pass, as big soft buffetings come at the car

sideways and catch the heart off-guard, and blow

itopen.

01:01:04:21

Aung San Suu Kyi arrival; Aung sun su Kyi

Voiceover: After some time, one starts to feel that

one doesn’t belong to the rest of the world,

because you live apart from it on your own.

Aung San Suu Kyi Voiceover/Interview

(interspersed with shots of crowd):

I was really moved I had never understood how

much people cared. I knew they cared but not to

such an extent.

01:02:51:14

Damien Rice: Seven years ago we wrote this

song for Aung San Suu Kyi’s Birthday, it was her

60th Birthday, and uh right now, in Burma, the

clock is just ticking midnight of the 19th of June,

which is Aung San Suu Kyi’s Birthday, so, Happy

Birthday.

01:03:15:20

Aung San Suu Kyi Voiceover/Interview: The pace

of my life is extremely hectic. Sometimes I do feel

a little bit nostalgic for those days when I could

0:06:06

0:24:09

0:20:14

Page 11: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

read and uh write in peace, and you know just

relax and meditate and take my time and over the

small tasks of the day, I have to say I feel slightly

nostalgic, this just very slightly.

01:03:37:03

Damien Rice performing Unplayed Piano

01:07:06:19

Bob Geldof: Very soon, finally, Aung San Suu

gets to speak to you, I understand that after a day

spnt with Bono, the first thing on your mind is to

get this over with, get on a place and get back to

Burma. And beg the military gentry to put you

back into house arrest. After a day of surmoning

and speeches it must be, I don’t know,

bewildering and bemusing and simultaneously

gratifying, and as you’ve been reminding us, now

the important stuff is the prosaic, dull grind of

normal politics, but how you must have longed for

that day. Ireland can’t really give you any more

than it has today, with its civic and diplomatic and

03:29:17

01:17:22

Page 12: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

now artistic honors we have nothing left to give

you, but the reality is that you actually honor us,

by being finally here with us and all of the people

who have worked for this moment.

01:08:27:14

Aung San Suu Kyi Interview: I think the people in

Burma are realistic, when I was campainging for

the bi-elections in April, I made it quite clear to

them that things were not going to change

overnight and I also said that neither my party nor

I could achieve all the things that they wanted,

they would have to join in, they also had to join

the duty to work for the kind of country that they

want, and I made a point to say that I would make

no promised beyond to try my best.

01:08:55:21

Angelique Kidjo performs Blewu.

01:09:30:08

Bill Shipsey Interview: There had been a freedom

struggle in Burma and on one day in 1988 almost

3000 protestors were murdered in the streets.

01:09:38:04

Angelique Kidjo performs Redemption Song. Bill

Shipsey voiceover: And shortly after that the

National League for Democracy was founded,

Aung San Suu Kyi became its first General

Secretary and she was placed under house arrest

and from that time she was adopted by Amnesty

International as a Prisoner of Conscience.

01:09:54:23

Redemption Song continues.

01:10:36:24

Bill Shipsey voiceover continues: And I have

been involved, I suppose, since 1989 in writing on

her behalf to support her and seek her release.

And I suppose I didn’t think they would release

her when they did in November of 2010, so it

came as something of a surprise, but you were

0:16:12

0:42:02

02:02:12

Page 14: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

always hoping and working for that day.

01:12:39:10

Aung San Suu Kyi Voiceover/Interview: What I

find exciting is putting new heart into people, it’s

not the projects themselves, in themselves, but

what they do to the people, how it empowers the

people that they can be in charge of such

projects, that excites me.

01:12:57:02

Wu’er Kaixi: Good evening, my name is Wu’er

Kaixi, I am one of the leaders of the T__ Student

Movement, which took place in 1989, many of my

fellow students were killed, and others like me

were forced into exile. Tonight we are celebrating

D__ Suu Kyi’s freedom, although this freedom is

compromised. This freedom is temporary. Not

until the day all Burmese can celebrate their

freedom like we do here, intoxicated with true

beauty of literature, sing from the top of our lung,

dance like we can burn the night, not until all

0:17:18

01:35:19

Page 15: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

Burmese, Chinese, all people deprived from their

freedom, can celebrate that on their own soil, we

are celebrating the freedom of the few. But let the

regime of Burma know, let the regime of China

know, and let all those oppressor of freedom to

know this: there will always be us, who are willing

to pay that price. Let’s truly celebrate that.

01:14:15:03

Bob Geldof performs Peace, Love and

Understanding.

01:16:34:00

Saoirse Ronan, performing with Sarah Nemantu

and Romain Descharmes: And then, there was

Saint Kevin and the blackbird, the saint is

kneeling, arms stretched out inside his cell. But

the cell is narrow, so one turned up hand is out

the window, stiff as a cross beam, when a

blackbird lands, lays in it and settles down to

nest. To labor, and not to seek reward, he prays:

a prayer his body makes entirely, for he has

02:18:23

0:51:04

Page 16: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

forgotten self, forgotten bird, and on the

riverbank, forgotten the river’s name.

01:17:25:03

Jack Gleeson recites The Haw Lantern: The

wintry haw is burning out of season, crowd of the

thorn, a small light, for small people, wanting no

more for them but that they keep the wick of self-

respect from dying out. Not to blind them from

illumination.

01:17:52:05

Lupe Fiasco performs Words I Never Said.

01:22:18:06

Salil Shetty speaks: of what I’ve heard is a really

safe assumption that none of you have come to

listen to my speech I haven’t really prepared one.

We are all hear to listen to D__ Suu, we are all

here to celebrate her freedom, and the freedom

of the Burmese people, we are also here to

remmeber that we still have hundreds of

01:16:11

4:26:02

01:37:05

Page 17: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

prisoners, still, in Burmese prisons. But most

importantly, as far as Amnesty International is

concerned, it’s also a moment for us to thank the

millions of people across the world who have

campaigned over decades for the release of D_

San Suu Kyi and for the release of so many other

political prisoners across the world. So I wanted

to just try to see if we can do a west African for

clapping for D Suu Kyi and for the people of

Ireland and for the activists and campaigners

across the world. You have to warm your hands

up for this: is it getting hotter? But tell me when

it’s completely hot and then we go like this, 1, 2,

1, 2, 3 (clapping). Unfortunately, our activists and

campaigners from Africa, Asia, Latin America

have not been able to travel to Dublin for this

event, so we have to do it in a way that we can

hear you, so, let’s try it again. Let’s warm it up.

Tell me when it’s really hot, is it getting hot?

Really hot? OK let’s go, 1, 2.. (clapping).

01:23:55:100:35:09

Page 18: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

Aung San Suu Kyi voiceover/interview: I am told

that members of the Amnesty International sent

me 100’s of postcards, I never received a single

one. But the knowledge that they sent it meant a

great deal to me, because even though none of

those postcards ever reached me, the, it must

have, the authorities must have been aware of

them because somebody must have gotten rid of

them, those postcards, and so whoever got rid of

those postcards must have been aware of the

concern of the outside world for the prisoners of

conscience inside Burma.

01:24:32:13

Salil Shetty continues: The one thing we’ve

learned is that the armies and dictators may have

guns, bullets, tanks, but they will never be abe to

kill the human spirit.

01:24:47:05

Aung San Suu Kyi voiceover/interview: I think it’s

important that dictatorial governments know that

0:13:03

0:12:00

Page 19: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

the outside world cares about the people they are

oppressing, then they are a little more careful

about what they do.

01:24:57:14

Electric Burma Band performs Toast Of Freedom.

01:28:04:01

Vanessa Redgrave recites From The Republic of

Conscience: When I landed in the Republic of

Conscience, it was so noiseless when the

engines stopped I could hear a c__ high over the

runway. I came back from that frugal republic, my

two arms the one length, the customs woman

having insisted my allowance was myself, the old

man rose and gazed in my face and said that was

official recognition that I was now a dual citizen.

He therefore desired me when I got home to

consider myself a representative and to speak on

their behalf in my own tongue. Their embassies,

he said, were everywhere but operated

independently, and no ambassador would ever

03:06:13

01:25:03

Page 20: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

be relieved.

01:29:29:03

Kate Tempest performs We Persevere,

perservere, until it is ours we have strength in our

hearts and a resolution that lasts despite turmoil,

we perservere while time leaves its footprints

behind on our faces but we remain fearless and

trust in our faith and we love, love is ours, a love

that roars and whimpers and aches to be held, a

love that is worn around fingers and yelled across

borders, we love beyond all else and before all

else and after all else our love remains and our

hope, the reason we cope and keep breathing, no

matter how many times we thought hands round

our throats, and we cry, tears are ours, we cry for

dead friends and misfortunes, we know that life is

our virtue and that there is strength to be found in

what hurts you, we were all born for burdens,

shoulders without burdens are no shoulders at all,

and so we remain dignified, fearless, peace

before fury, fury before apathy, humanity has

01:40:21

Page 21: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

ravaged itself with barbarities since stories but yet

to be told, for all those who are not here, who

survive in our memories, let’s do what we can

now to honor their legacy, and so here is my

closing, it takes many waves to make up an

ocean, many currents, many rivers, many

streams, but then it all flows as one in the end. I

am here because I believe we began as one and

we will be one again. So my humble respects and

gratitude to you D Suu and for those still suffering

let us not forget them, peace and freedom for

everyone, for all children, for all women, for all

men.

01:31:18:00

Bono with Damien Rice performing Walk On.

01:35:10:21

Bono: The great, unexplanabe stepping in for the

Edge, whose heart is broken this week, I think of

him and his loss as we sing this next one, which

is called One.

03:52:22

05:19:04

Bono with Damien Rice performing One.

01:40:29:24

Bill Shipsey: She was announced as the 2009

winner of the Ambassador of Conscience Award

and that was announed on stage by Bono in

Crow Park, just a few miles from here (cut to

footage from the night in the park); but of course

she was under house arrest and she wasn’t

allowed to come and accept her aware. IT took

her a little under 3 years from the announcement

for her to be free and to come to Dublin to accept

her award.

01:40:53:02

Bono: D Suu, thank you for being with us tonight.

We are humbled, we are greatful. While some

might be scratching their heads as one of the first

trips overseas you decide on our small rock in the

north Atlantic – no one here is scratching their

heads, we know why you came to Dublin, it’s to

hold our hand for the Italy game. It is one of the

0:23:01

03:18:18

Page 23: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

great ironies that by your confinement, by giving

up your chance to enjoy the world, the world has

become your home. Oslo was your home this

morning, London will be your home tonight.

Dublin is your home this evening; __ welcome

home. Now around here we know all too well that

violent revolution is the way the world has

remade itself from the beginning of time and that

bores at the heart of the human story, but you, D

Suu, believe in something different. That war can

be unlearned and rejected, that we can reboot the

human spirit through hard reflection and

rigourous actions. If Pascal was right when he

suggested that all of humanities problems stem

from man’s inability to sit still in a room, well

thank god you’re a woman. Thank god you’re a

woman. For 23 years is a long time to sit still. And

Yates would say, “Peace comes dropping slow,”

from you we get the feeling that peace is not just

the absence of war around us, but the absence of

war within us, and of the foundations of a better

future are better laid by mortars spared of blood.

Page 24: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

And that is why the Amnesty Award was created,

with the hope that every so often someone whose

ideas are as noble as their ambitions, someone

like that might come along and claim it. And here

you are, receiving this award, but the honor is

ours, the honor is to be in your presence.

Everbody’s here to sing to you tonight, but it’s

your song that everybody wants to hear. It’s your

song we need on the radio all over the world,

your words, your topline melody. It’s a timeless

song, and it seems more important this time than

ever before, please welcome to the stage D Aung

San Suu Kyi. (clapping, she makes her way to

stage)

01:44:11:19

(Presenting the Ambassador of Conscience

Award to Aung San Suu Kyi)

Aung San Suu Kyi speaks: All this has been

totally unexpected. To receive this award is to

remind me that 24 years ago I took on duties from

03:41:12

Page 25: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

which I shall never be relieved. But you have

given me the strength to carry on, that I should

not be alone as I go about the discharging of my

duties. SO many people have asked me what it

feels like to come out of Burma for the first time in

24 years; this journey actually started with a short

trip to Thailand, a couple of weeks ago, and now

I’ve been to Switzerland, Norway, and now I’m

here this evening in Ireland. And now I know the

answer, when people ask me how does it feel:

moving, is the word. By moving, I mean a stirring

of the heart, as well as a new impetus towards

good that we’ve been looking to for the last 24

years. You have helped us greatly; I have to

confess that I never knew how many people

cared for us, and for our cause, until I started out

on this journey, which started out in Thailand, as I

said, a couple of weeks ago, I was amazed and

deeply touched and moved by the warmth that

the Thais showed, that they demonstrated for me

and for my cause, and again on this journey to

the west, in Switzerland, in Norway, and now

Page 26: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

here in Ireland, I’ve discovered how much more

people care. I had not expected this, I had not

known how much they cared. This has come as a

surprise to me, and a very moving one I feel very

close to you. The British used to refer to the

Burmese as the Irish of the East; we never quite

understood why, some said it was because we

never gave them any peace, and we were very

rebellious, and others said that it was because

our men like their drink and we were all rather

superstitious. But for whatever reason, tonight I

feel proud to be your Eastern counterpart, I am

very happy to be an Irish affiliate. (applause).

Throughout these yearrs Amnesty International

have helped us to keep our small wick of self

respect alight; you have helped us to kee the

light. And we hope that you will be with us in the

years to come, that you will be able to join us in

our dreams, and not take either your eyes or your

mind off us, to not be the country that hope and

history murders. Thank you.

Page 27: Independent Production Company Library Information · Web viewIngrid Berman MarinParticipating Artist

01:47:53:05

I don’t know that I could ever remember another

political leader, other than a Ghandi or a Martin

Luther King, mentioning kindness, you know

people talk about justice, people talk about

human rights, but they don’t talk about something

and as basic and as fundamental as human

kindness. I think she goes back to Burma full of

heart and full of hope that she’s made a number

of important friends that will stick with Burma in

the years to come.

01:48:17:00

Bono and Damien Rice perform I Shall Be

Released

Bono: Everyone who was involved with this show

should be on the stage by the end of the song.

SO send the message if it hasn’t already got out.
