Summary: A documentary film about the parallels between international conflict and the individual, intended for younger audiences. The key message of the film is that collective defence is a necessity if peace is to be maintained. The “soft sell” approach adopted by this documentary is evident from the outset, the vibrant opening titles setting the scene for a more artistic style of production than is typical of other North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) documentaries.
Description: Archive material is used to give an impression of the recent conflict that had depleted Europe over the course of the twentieth century. This is paralleled with the breakdown of a relationship between two people, which eventually turns to violence. The soundtrack used is more akin to the peace movement of the 1960s than would typically be associated with a strategic defence organisation such as NATO.
