Tiada Awal Tiada Akhir (The non-existence of the beginning and the end)

Two-channel video

Today's technology and media enable people not only to learn about past and the present events, but also to question them. The left footage is about the places where Si Singamangaraja XII was born and grew up in the Bakkara Valley on the shores of Lake Toba, and the right footage is from Sionom Hudon on the banks of a small river in a mountainous forest area where he perished after being ambushed by Christoffel’s brigade. During Lifepatch’s research period in North Sumatera, they learnt that people in North Sumatra, especially those living in Bakkara Valley and Sionom Hudon, still have a strong memory of Si Singamangaraja XII. The quotations in the video are taken from their lines on him.
