Man's humanity to man

31-12-1988 FilmRef. V-F-CR-F-00134

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.
