This shocking and highly innovative documentary reveals the scale and effects of war on the modern world: people fight for their land, their religion, their ideas, and sometimes, solely their survival. Following combatants in 16 wars over the same 24-hour time period, the program tells the stories of a range of fighters-from child soldiers to women commandos and UN peacekeepers to army conscripts-in conflicts from Burma to Sudan, Laos to Cambodia, cutting between characters as the day unfolds. This is a continuing drama about individuals: their reasons for fighting, their hopes for the future, and the fear, excitement, and often banality of life in a war zone.
