India gave Nagaland official status as its 16th state in 1963, but many of the 400,000 Nagas still want nothing less than full independence. The Nagas are racially distinct from Indians, tracing their Oriental origins to Tibet and Burma. Once ferocious headhunters, many Nagas are now Christianized but have scant brotherly love for Hindu administration from New Delhi...
...convey an absolute truth, move toward dramatic metaphor in subject and theme, in order to convey ideas that will affect us, living in the one reality film cannot reproduce.

The ending of his celebrated affair with Lady Ottoline Morrell, for example, glides without distinct definition into his tempestuous life with Lady Constance Malleson. Writes Russell: "I want personal love to be like a beacon fire lighting up the darkness, not a timid refuge from the cold as it is very often . . . Oh, I am happy, happy, happy." He passes with equal vagueness from his second marriage to Dora Black and the first joys of paternity at the age of 49 through the divorce and into his third marriage to Patricia Spence...
