Experiencing Interruptions?

When the bombs go silent

"I once said that we don't know how long we will live. And here, I really don't know if I'll live to see another day. We are all changed by this war. It presses itself into us, into our lives.

The trauma of war, the trauma of what it brings is definitely easier to survive with God. "

“When the bombs go silent” is a powerful film that metabolizes the human experience and refines the war images to a level that reaches the heart. In these days when we are constantly bombarded with visions of horror in the news, this film with a quasi-poetic style invites to look deeper and not run away from this crude reality. In the dark drama that our sisters and brothers live, there is a ray of hope that comes from their deep-rooted faith.
