Launched this week, the From the Field series is filmed by ICRC news cameramen who have access to conflict zones and emergency situations that are often off-limits to journalists.

The films show how war and violence affect the lives of ordinary people all over the world, and the efforts of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to bring them relief.

Focusing on a specific location or emergency, the films tell the human stories behind the headlines. How does it feel to be captured and then escape from armed fighters? What is it like to live without a regular water supply or basic medical care? How do families forced to abandon their homes survive from day to day?

The series is available in French, English and international versions, and in DVD and professional broadcast formats. New titles are in regular production.

New titles:
Darfur: Living in the Shadow of Conflict (also available in Arabic)
Pakistan: Saving Lives in Kashmir
Nepal: Trapped between Two Sides
Darfur: The Civilian Victims (also available in Arabic)
Indonesia/Sri Lanka: After the Tsunami
Uganda: Forgotten Victims

Out soon:
Yemen: Family Messages, a Lifeline
Angola: The Scars of Conflict
Afghanistan: Surviving the Peace
