Summaries

Part one. Sorious Samura explores the changing face of war, focusing on its impact on the lives of ordinary people. In particular, he looks at the experiences of those on the receiving end of military interventions by American forces in Somalia, Sudan and Afghanistan Part two. In the concluding part of the documentary, Sierra Leone-born film-maker Sorious Samura reports on the large number of conflicts throughout the modern world which are fought with little more than rusty old rifles and, in some cases, bows and arrows. He assesses how state control has slipped in many parts of the world, to be replaced by ancient rivalries often derived from contrasting religious beliefs. Visiting Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan and Somalia, he reveals the truth about war in areas of comparatively limited means.—Insight TWI
