This animation brings to life the story of the creation of the Red Cross, Red Crescent Movement and its history to date. The comic strip was created by the world renowned artist Jean Giraud, alias Moebius.

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.

This film presents an overview of the work of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and reflects on some of the main challenges facing humanity: the growing threat of the misuse of biotechnology, the widespread availability of small arms and light weapons, the terrible combination of AIDS and hunger, and the need to boost risk reduction policies. It highlights how together, the ICRC, the IFRC and the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, strive to address these problems and ensure that human dignity is respected. This film was shown during the opening ceremony of the 28th International Conference of the Red Cross, Red Crescent that took place in December 2003.

This sequence of gripping images, many of which had never been used in a film before, traces the Movement's history from the time of its first field worker – Henry Dunant – through some of the major human tragedies of the past twentieth century. The film was made from footage gathered by Pathé Cinéma for its production The Epic of the Red Cross.
