Breaking Bows and Arrows...

[i have issues]

Let me just say, after watching this documentary on LinkTV, I'm really thinking modern society has lost it's way... It's a film about the reconciliation between factions in a bloody civil war in Papua New Guinea. Truly heartwrenching.; A sad commentary on our current bloodlust and a RESOUNDING condemnation of anyone still of the mind that humankind needs to be differentiated by words like 'enemy'...
Here is a snip from the website,

On the island of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea, victims and perpetrators are coming together in traditionally based reconciliation ceremonies after a decade long civil war left the community bitterly divided. In the largest reconciliation ceremony yet to take, BBA follows fighters who
have killed each others families as they come together to break bows and arrows in a traditional gesture of peace. On a more personal journey Francis Boisivere retrieves the bones of a chief he killed, ceremonially returning them to the bereaved wife, Immaculate Atorevi. He seeks forgiveness, she a release from the hatred she harbours.
