An unfortunate defining characteristic of humans is their capacity for war. One only has to look at the timeline of centuries of continuous conflict to know that war is one of the major defining characteristics of human geography, politics and nationhood. Some of the films in this collection were made for purposes of propaganda - whether in a spirit of offence or spirited defence of qualities that were threatened - some catalogue the unimaginable, while others seek to find out the underlying causes for why conflicts and barbarity occurred. Behind all is the question posed to a newly-born baby at the end of Humphrey Jenning's Diary for Timothy: Are you going to have greed for money or power, ousting decency from the world as they have in the past, or are you going to make the world a different place, you and the other babies?" < show less
