Damon gives video anti-war theme

Blur's forthcoming single video uses BBC footage of a woman marine on a US Navy warship, with director John Hardwick describing its anti-war theme.

Damon Albarn will use the video of Blur's up coming single to continue his anti-war campaigning. The video features fly-on-the-wall footage of a woman marine who serving on a US Navy warship in the Gulf which originally appeared in a film for the BBC's Correspondent programme.

The video's director John Hardwick told reporters: "The video offers an alternative perspective on the individuals who exist at the sharp end of government policy by portraying the armed forces as being staffed by people who have the same needs as all others. Like the song, the video is a tender piece of work about distance and loss."

The single, from forthcoming album 'Think Tank', is out on 14 Apr.
