||Screening schedule of Barrel of the Gun||
Barrel of the Gun
The last two days of Film South Asia '05 will
be showcase the latest documentaries and features
from all over the world that address the subject
of armed power used against people. The "Barrel
of the Gun" selection will highlight the
futility of using the gun to solve political problems
and the suffering armed violence brings.
The Barrel of the Gun selection will include
films from all over the world from Colombia to
Cambodia, Rwanda to Bosnia-Herzogovina, Peru to
Nepal. The films tackle a variety of themes from
the way individuals cope with personal loss to
a former UN commander coming in terms with the
massacre he failed to prevent, the pursuit of
justice against perpetrators of war crimes to
internally displaced looking for new bearings.
In view of the ongoing conflict in Nepal and
the rest of South Asia the organizers feel that
there is a lot to learn from experiences elsewhere
and will contribute to lasting peace all over.
