War and Peace

Synopsis

Filmed over three tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan and the USA, War and Peace is an epic documentary rendering of peace activism in the face of global militarism and war. Triggered by macabre scenes of jubilation that greeted nuclear testing in the Indian sub-continent, War and Peace is dramatically framed by the murder of Mahatma Gandhi. Fifty years after his death memories of Gandhi seem like a mirage, created by out thirst for peace and our very distance from it.
