‘War and Peace' begins and ends with the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. Highlighting the danger of nuclear war in the Indian subcontinent, the video documents the problems faced by people living near nuclear testing and mining sites, the horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the culpability of the USA in using atom bombs on a nation that was about to surrender, the globalisation of the arms trade, but most of all, it derives its power and emotional appeal from the growing movement for peace both in India and in Pakistan.
