War and Peace/Jang aur Aman (2002, 135 mins)

Filmed over four tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan and the USA - War and Peace is documentary journey of peace activism at a time of global militarism and war. Triggered by macabre scenes of jubilation that greeted nuclear testing in the sub-continent, the film is framed by the murder of Mahatma Gandhi. Fifty years later memories of Gandhi seem like a mirage that never was, created by our thirst for peace and our very distance from it.
