February 2004 Women are more likely than professional soldiers to be the casualties of war. From genocide and rape to displacement and starvation, they bear more than their fair share of the suffering. But amongst all this hardship, women around the world are standing up for peace. By advocating justice and educating future generations that war is not the answer, they are at the forefront of reconciling their communities. This high-quality documentary made for PBS follows women peacemakers from four different conflict zones. Narrated by Academy-Award winning actress Jessica Lange, this film redefines the role of women in war. Ref 2083
