A dramatization of the life of Henry Dunant and his contribution to the founding of the Red Cross. This fictional film, based loosely around the events of Henry Dunant's life, is now available on DVD. Bonus DVD features include the ICRC film "In the heart of the Action", which reflects on the neutral and independent humanitarian action carried out by the ICRC today, clear evidence of Dunant's legacy.
This film, combining colourful animation with recent images, brings to life the history of the Red Cross 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 Crescent Societies and the National Societies, as they work together to help those in need.
