Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.

A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
