World Vision Report ran a piece this weekend based on AD's excursion which focuses on a volunteer doctor. You can hear that here.
We spent last Monday inside the Red Shirt encampment in Central Bangkok, Thailand collecting audio and put together an impressionistic, 15-minute, un-narrated, minimally-edited tour. It starts with some conversations in the main protest area which has a sort of a festival feel. Then, as a street battle heats up we move through government and red shirt checkpoints toward the firefight near Lumpini Park where the sound of chirping birds mixes with gunfire. Lastly, a protest leader speaking in English about the events of the day and the state of affairs.
