Man, this film roll had a hard time.

It was exposed to light. Got stuck in the teeth of a cheap camera. Got soaked inside that same camera (while the photographer protested against the government on a rain-sodden Saturday).

A substantial part of the film was lost, as the sticky-wet material wouldn't roll back into the canister (and had to be amputated).

Not much is left. Only this mildly underexposed shot, in fact. And some messy double exposures that lack everything you could call a 'composition'.

But a lost film roll is only a small sacrifice against the resurgence of fascism.

(I don't think that is an exaggerated term for what is happening.)
