Uncertainty over the fate of a loved one causes untold suffering in wartime. This film captures how the ICRC Central Tracing Agency, together with Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies all over the world, works to alleviate this suffering. It illustrates the different means and methods used in the essential efforts to trace family members and to restore family links. From distributing Red Cross messages and organizing family reunifications to visiting persons deprived of their freedom, the work undertaken brings welcome news and relief to thousands of people every year.
"This film is trying to show now that all over the world there should be no child soldiers. I hope that in any country where there is a war, as long as they watch this film they have seen how we the children were destroyed." Tamba, former child soldier. Tamba and other former child soldiers promote the message that children should not be recruited into armed forces or armed groups, nor take part in hostilities.
The Missing: end the silence is a longer film (14 min.) also focusing on testimonials and is intended to heighten awareness of the issue of The Missing. It encourages action to be taken to resolve the problem and to guarantee the fundamental right of the families involved to know the fate of a missing relative.

As a supplement to the War and Displacement information kit, there are three short films which can be used to support War and Displacement presentations. The first film focuses on victims and highlights the challenges facing the Movement in its work on behalf of internally displaced persons and refugees. The other two films are taken from the Women facing War series.
Eleven women tell their own individual stories of how their lives have been affected by war. Coping with displacement, physical and sexual violence, missing relatives, widowhood, detention... challenges and difficulties that these and thousands of other women must face in their daily lives.
While the ICRC works to help all victims of conflict without distinction, its work around the world recognizes the specific needs of women facing war. This film explores how the ongoing work of the ICRC is beneficial to women affected by armed conflict shown here in the areas of emergency relief distribution, support for families with missing relatives, protection, health care and economic assistance.
In this enlightening film, former political prisoners from various countries describe their conditions of detention and tell of the positive effects that visits by ICRC delegates have on the lives of detainees.
The International Tracing Service (ITS) in Arolsen, Germany, was set up in 1943 in London to collect information on civilian victims of the Nazi regime. Half a century later, the ITS is in possession of 44 million documents and is still updating its files and replying to enquiries. The story of the ITS (administered by the ICRC since 1955) is told through the personal accounts of four survivors who speak of their harrowing experience in the camps and explain how the ITS was able to help them.
