In Pursuit of Peace

In Pursuit of Peace is a feature documentary about the impact of war and peace on the lives of some of the millions of people whose worlds have been uprooted by the ravages of armed conflict. The film tells the little known stories of Canadians on the front lines of international peace initiatives. We travel with them to some of the world's most active conflicts -- South Sudan, Turkey, Congo (DRC) and Northern Iraq. We step behind the battle lines and experience the challenges of their peacemaking work, exploring how their hopes, their commitments and strategies are challenged by deeply entrenched conflicts. The film explores the impact that violence has had on the lives of those directly affected by armed conflict - as we immerse ourselves in a new 21st century paradigm of conflict resolution.
