Checkpoint 303 'Time Passes - A Tribute to John Berger'

From Checkpoint 303, a remix/collage/soundscape of John Berger, who left us on 2nd January, reading Ghassan Kanafani's "Letter from Gaza".

John Berger was an outstanding intellectual, writer, poet, artist and humanist. He was a strong supporter of the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and self-determination. Ghassan Kanafani was a Palestinian writer and a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (FPLP). Kanafani was assassinated by the Israeli Mossad in 1972.

You can download the audio version of this new track from Checkpoint 303's website and soundcloud page. As ever, CP-303 weaves meaning and music into inspirational moments. This is a fitting tribute to a generous and poetic soul.
