When filmmaker Helga Reidemeister visited Afghanistan in 2002, the destruction she witnessed reminded her of the devastated cities she experienced during her childhood in Germany immediately after World War II. Disturbed by the wars that have broken out since September 11, 2001, Reidemeister began interviewing women who oppose war, globalization, and the abuse of human-rights. In the course of this film, she travels to meet women activists in India, Serbia, Afghanistan, and Texas. The last interview, with Sissy Farenthold in Houston, a former professor of law and a veteran of Texas politics, is particularly revealing, as Farenthold reflects on the militarization of American culture and the meaning of war after September 11.
