Filmed during three tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan, and the
United States, War and Peace is an epic journey of peace activism
in the face of global militarism and war. This timely documentary about
the continuing confrontation between India and Pakistan was triggered by
macabre scenes of jubilation that greeted the announcement of nuclear testing
on the Indian subcontinent. "The film itself is a tour de force, beautifully
shot and often darkly funny and much more riveting than the dry subject
matter might suggest" (The Guardian, U.K.). War and Peace was
the recipient of the International Film Critics' Award (FIPRESCI) at the
2002 Sydney International Film Festival and winner of Best Film at the 2002
Mumbai International Film Festival in India. 2002, India, color, Beta, in
English, Hindi, and Japanese with English subtitles, 148 minutes.
