From Little Tibet to London and Disillusion
Two women leave their remote idyllic home in the Roof of the World to sea-level London with its homeless, its homes of the aged and the ubiquitous, gigantic garbage dumps far removed from bright double decker buses and Buckingham Palace! Two women face the onslaught of the Consumerism and the inevitable destruction of diverse cultures.

Heading Towards and Hurtling Away 
Where are we heading? Life gets harder and faster all the time. We are hurtling away from the natural world and a sense of community. Yet we are continually told that all this will improve out lives, as will the globalization of the economy, deregulation, free trade, and ever bigger corporate mergers.
