“story of an idea: this film, combining colorful animation with recent images, brings to life the history of the Red cross and Red crescent movement from henry dunant and the battle of Solferino through to today. Ideal for a general audience, the film explains, in simple terms, the meaning of the Geneva Conventions, the universal humanitarian principles underlying the movement’s efforts and the general activities carried out by the different components, the ICRC, the international federation of Red Cross and Red Crecent societies and the national societies, as they work together to help those in need.”—back cover.
