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 e orts and the general activities
carried out by the di erent 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.
