AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Philoctetes is a wounded man. Betrayed and abandoned for ten years on a barren island of rocks and crows. But what happens when a marginalised man becomes the key to ending ten years of carnage? "The Seizure" is an unsentimental interrogation of trauma, the costs of war and the pursuit of justice. A story of hope and reconciliation steeped in the blood and tears of a society lusting for victory. When all is forsaken, who can hold on to humanity?'
