OF WARS, CIVIL WARS AND WORLD WARS

The futility of wars in the guise as a political solution shows its ugly head in the toll of human sacrifice and needless expense of society's wealth just to satisfy the aggression of a few and mostly for the profits made by the military industrial complex. Our times shaped us into what we are and should have this wisdom, that the best predictor of the future is the past. Those who deny the past and those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it and suffer the consequences..ASC

The Great Battle on the Volga (1962)

Produced in the Soviet Union in 1962, this documentary compiles the work of 50 Soviet combat photographers, who filmed the battle of Stalingrad, one of the great turning points in the Second World War. Because this was made in the Khrushchev era, the documentary avoids references to Stalin and Stalingrad.
