FiImed over four tumuItuous years in lndia, Pakistan, Japan and the USA foIIowing nucIear tests in the lndian sub-continent, and framed by the murder of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, an act whose portent and poignancy remains undiminished half a century Iater, War and Peace is a documentary journey of peace activism in the face of gIobal militarism and war.
The fiIm examines the sub-continent s trajectory towards unabashed militarism and the costs being extracted from citizens in the name of national security. From the pIight of residents living near the nucIear test site to the horrendous effects of uranium mining on local indigenous popuIations, it becomes abundantIy cIear that contrary to a myth first created by the United States, there is no such thing as the 'peaceful Atom'.
Patwrdhan's documentary has become more potent and reIevant than ever, as we enter a 21st century where war has become perenniaI, enemies are re-invented and economies inextricably tied to the production and saIe of weapons. In the moral wastelands of the world memories of Gandhi seem like a mirage that never was, created by a suposed 'thirst for peace' and our Ieaders very distance from it.
