A stunning recounting of the deeply rooted contact between cinema and war, starting from their first encounter, on the occasion of the Italian invasion in Libya in 1911, to the present day. Divided into four chapters, this insightful reflection on humanity’s visual memory, building a framework in which peace and war seem to coexist and keep each other at bay. An unconventional contemplation on the never-ending consequences of war, the true lessons of history and the preservation of memory for future generations.
