Voices in Wartime began in 2004 as a feature-length documentary that sharply etches the experience of war through powerful images and the words of poets – unknown and world-famous. Soldiers, journalists, historians and experts on combat interviewed in Voices in Wartime add diverse perspectives on war’s effects on soldiers, civilians and society. In Voices in Wartime, poets around the world, from the United States and Colombia to Britain and Nigeria to Iraq and India, share their views and experiences of war that extend beyond national borders and into the depth of the human soul.

The film inspired an Education Project – now a program of the Charter for Compassion International -- and the creation of rich resources to aid in bringing the voices of war's witnesses -- veterans and civilians -- into the classroom, while helping young people find their own voices and spark their imaginations and actions to create a more peaceful and compassionate world.
