In the Loss of Innocence, we journey to three islands as their tranquil settings are disturbed by political and social strife. Tensions between government and society erupt as human emotions take hold. The ideal image of "the island paradise" is shattered as beneath the beauty of nature's best, citizens manipulate systems of power for personal gain while others seek justice.
