BOL may refer to:
A cyclist meets a woman in the market. A boy waits for his mother to return home. A man wakes up to find that his face has been stolen. Three separate incidents become the departure point for Bol (Speak!), a short dramatic experimental triptych offering 3 perspectives on the nature and shape of violence around us. Inspired by the Pakistani poet laureate Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poem 'Bol', each short uses old fashioned means -photographs, puppets, chauu folk dance - to tell modern tales.

Plot: Sammy Raes, a nice, naive law-freshman from a simple family, dies in a form of hazing known as the 'flying carpet'. The father of the arrogant fraternity president Guy Bogaerts who ordered this reckless procedure abuses his connections to prevent a judicial homicide conviction, while the college authorities prefer to avoid a scandal in the press. However Sammy's freshmen friends Tom Smits and Dennis won't leave it at that.

clotting slowly in the snow
Unsung heroes cry in the night
may they die before dawn
Broken banners mourn fallen crowns
grieving swords lay all around
As the swansong touches the mountainside
unseeing eyes look at you
Can't you hear it
hear the sorrows vail
Oh, can't you see it
the newborn day
Impaled hearts welcome the end of pain
black blood releasing warrior souls
Vultures circle 'round the fields of grief
another graveyard, another tale
Can't you hear it
hear the sorrows vail
Oh, can't you see it
the newborn day
