At the beginning of the 20th century 80% of war casualties were combatants. At the beginning of the 21st century 80% of war casualties were civilians. Today, civilians pay for war like never before. As the global economic system plunges from crisis to crisis governments continue to spend a trillion dollars a year on the preparation or pursuance of war. At the outbreak of the Iraq war in 2003, seven British taxpayers: a Doctor, three teachers, a toymaker, a Buddhist and an accountant asked that the military portion of their taxes be spent on more constructive ways of resolving conflict. Receiving its world premiere at the Milan Film Festival in 2008, Contempt of Conscience is a timely reminder to never underestimate the power of a small group of individuals to change the world. After all, it is the only thing that ever has. (55 min.)
