Panorama 08 shows the horrendous toll that armed conflict inflicts – threatening lives and livelihoods, forcing people to flee their homes and separating families. This film highlights the ICRC’s work to assist victims of armed conflict and to promote international humanitarian law, ensuring that people trapped on the world’s frontlines are protected from harm.

A joint production between Memoriav and the ICRC, this double DVD production makes available for the first time rare footage of humanitarian work taken between 1920 and 1923. Shot amid the ruins of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian and Ottaman empires, the ICRC films show the suffering that followed the First World War and the attempts to alleviate it through the repatriation of prisoners of war, relief operations for children and refugees and the fight against epidemics.
