a century for peace
1999 - 50 min.
In an unusually extensive interview, UN Secretary Kofi Annan expands his vision on war and peace, as well as his personal motives to work for peace.
In the shadow of his words, we encounter an Eritrean soldier who is at the frontline in the war with Ethiopia. His wife, at home, displays her one-dimensional image of 'the enemy'.
'Century for Peace' was made for the commemoration of the First International Peace Conference in The Hague, 1899.
