| Summary: | This is the true, and often shocking, story of the modern world at war; a revealing portrayal of the people who fight for their land, their religion and their ideas, and sometimes, just their survival. Following individual fighters in 16 wars over the same 24-hour period, top observational cameramen and directors document the stories of a range of fighters, from child soldiers to women commandos, from UN peacekeepers to army conscripts, in conflicts from Burma to Sudan, Laos to Colombia, cutting between characters as the day unfolds. This is a film about individuals: their reasons for fighting, their hopes for the future and the fear, excitement, and often banality of life in a war zone. |
