This film deals with the various factors involved in creating a war game and the after effects of tampering with peace and destroying it to achieve personal goals.

The film illustrates the love and devotion a mother has for her son and daughter even though the violence of war destroys their dreams. As Iranians celebrate the New Year, Iraqi bombs rain down on Tehran in 1988. We meet the widowed Gilaneh and her pregnant daughter who are in search of the daughter's husband who has deserted his military post. As the inhabitants of Tehran are fleeing the bomb ridden city, Gilaneh and her daughter make the perilous journey into the capital city to find the missing husband. Fifteen years later, the United States attacks Baghdad during another New Year's celebration. Scenes of the new war -- in which Iraq is now the invaded -- flash insistently across the television while Gilaneh tries to rebuild her hopes and dreams for her children whose lives have been shattered by violence. This time her dream is to find a war widow in a distant town to marry and care for her invalid son. Awards: Best Film and Best Actress at Kara (Pakastan) International Film Festival in 2005; NETPAC Award at Festival de Vesoul (France) in 2006; Special Jury Prize at Festival International de Cine Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) in 2006.

During the liberation war of Bangladesh against Pakistan in 1971, Jibonkrishna Das, a poor lower-caste Hindu drummer, was eking out a living with his wife and two children. Being from lower-caste, Jibon was subjected to all kinds of humiliation both by his Muslim neighbours as well as by the upper caste Hindus. During the war when Pakistan army occupied Jibon's village, Jibon along with others, tried to flee to India. On the way, his family members were massacred by the Pakistani soldiers. Jibon survived, and after roaming around the war-ravaged countryside, finally returned to his native village which was then being brutally ruled by the Razakars, an Islamic auxiliary force collaborating with the Pakistan army. The commander of the Razakars spared Jibon's life on the condition that he had to play drum for his marauding force. Jibon's situation became very ironic. But he survived and his artistic instinct thrived at the end.

In 1971, during Bangladesh’s war of independence, Meher falls in love with a soldier from the enemy side. When her love is discovered, she is shamed and silenced by her family and society. Today 38 years after the war, Meher has a visitor she cannot turn down. Sarah—a ‘war-child,’ Meher’s cousin Neela’s daughter, who was given away for adoption has come back to piece together her past. Together, these two women must re-tell history through their stories in order to cut through the stigmas and walk into light. Meherjaan is a film about loving the Other. Meherjaan does away with the unitary masculine narrative in order to usher in an emotional multiplicity of feminine emotion and sensibility. This film critiques certain pitfalls of nationalism that create conditions to justify war, killing and violence. Finally, Meherjaan attempts to offer an aesthetic solution to war and violence by taking refuge in love and spiritual submission. In 1971, the state of Pakistan raged into war. As a result, the country was divided and East Pakistan emerged as sovereign Bangladesh. Thirty-eight years later, Sarah, a war child begins a journey into her past. Meher, a middle aged sculptress, a survivor of 1971 war lives in Dhaka city alone. When Meher opens her chest of memory she pulls one story after another: ... ... ...

In Never Shall We Be Enslaved, award winning director Kyi Soe Tun focuses a Burmese lens on events at the end of the Burmese Kingdom and the beginning of British rule in the late 1880s. Britain has control of India and most of Burma, but the last monarch tries to postpone the inevitable by concessions to British interests and by attempting to play the French against their colonial rivals. In the war-torn atmosphere of this end game war, a Bamar commander falls in love with a Shan princess, although their peoples traditionally are enemies. The British have tricked the Bamar by not revealing that their choice for prince, Nyang Yang, has been dead for a year. When they learn of this deception, the Bamar join forces with the Shan and other ethnic groups under the last ruler King Thibaw. When the British demand submission, the final battle is joined against the forces of General Prendergast. Will the nationalists be able to defeat him, or must they continue the resistance as guerrillas?
