They bury the Living

Morrissey's song I bury the Living (music by Jesse Tobias) from the album Low in High School, released in 2017.

I bury the Living is also the title of a 1958 horror film that Morrissey surely knows (he loves quoting weird and obscure films) and whose plot reminds me of something, but I surely did not watched it during my long boring Summer afternoons when I was a child: I probably heard about it on RAI Radio 3 program Hollywood Party and watched a scene on RAI 3 TV program Blob.

I dedicate my article to Sabrina Prioli, an Italian humanitarian volunteer who was brutally raped and tortured in Juba (South Sudan) by the soldiers who should protect her and the other volunteers: the ignoble soldiers had already been sentenced in Sudan, but only now, after ten years of hard legal battle, Sabrina has finally been acknowledged as a victim of terrorism and granted an indemnisation by Italian Ministry of the Interior.
