Description

In Children in war, Based on Their Acclaimed Television documentary, filmmakers Alan and Susan Raymond tell the tragic story of life during wartime through the voices of children in Bosnia, Israel, Rwanda, and Northern Ireland. Their stories, drawings, and photo images tell us of atrocities they have witnessed, losses they have suffered, and, in some cases, hopes that still prevail.

Candid interviews with children in each of these countries, as well as psychologists and social workers who have helped many of these children deal with their trauma, display a wide array of emotions, and provide startling insights into the complex causes of war and its real effects.

With full-color photographs of the artwork that many of the children created in therapy sessions and an afterword by the filmmakers on the difficulties of bearing witness, Children in War is a powerful -- perhaps the ultimate -- anti-war statement.
