The Peacekeepers

NFB Cinema / FREE ADMISSION

Winner, Vaclav Havel Special Award,
One World International Human Rights Film Festival, 2005

Directed by Paul Cowan, 2005, 85 minutes.

With unprecedented access to the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping, The Peacekeepers follows the determined and often desperate manoeuvres to avert another Rwandan disaster, this time in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Join us for a discussion with Rob Acheson, co-chair of the Toronto chapter of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative, and Bodia Macharia, President of Friends of the Congo, following the film.

PeaceFlicks! is a collaboration between the NFB Mediatheque and Peaceworks, in conjunction with Nonviolent Peaceforce Canada, Greenspiration, and Canadian Voice of Women for Peace.
