Programs
War and the Power to Live Program supported by Red Cross
Wars and other situations of violence ruin many people’s lives all over the world. We have seen many conflicts that has started and escalated in recent years, like what the world is witnessing in Ukraine or Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory; but too few of them end, and in each one it is the civilian populations that bear the consequences. People are losing their loved ones as well as a peaceful state of mind. Regardless of where we live, in conflict or in peace, we share the same values for human dignity.
By projecting those struggling with various types of hardships in the program, we would like you to get to know how they live, then think about what you can do first to help people around you. This program was launched with the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in 2015. It is our 10th collaboration, and we nominated 11 films in total for the program and screen the selected films both online and onsite.
