Synopsis: Featuring veteran anti-war campaigner Tony Benn and peace campaigners from around the world, the film examines works by artists in response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Twelve artists provide a candid analysis of war through their work and take the viewer on a journey that celebrates humanity and the struggle for peace. Shot in 14 different countries including Iraq and the U.S.A., the film subtly contrasts the difference between destruction and creativity. Six years in the making, this truly independent production without any budget has been made possible through collaboration with other film-makers and a passion for peace and humanity.
