The "Michael Moore of India" shows "War and Peace" in Toronto April 10, 2006

Anand Patwardhan, who has been dubbed the ?Michael Moore of India?, will attend the screening of his award-winning documentary, ?War and Peace?, in Toronto at 7 pm on Monday, April 10th. The event will be held at the Royal Cinema, 608 College Street, and is being organized by the Voice of Women, Canada?s oldest grassroots anti-nuclear organization.

Filmed over three tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan and the USA, ?War and Peace?, is an epic documentary which takes us on a tour of nuclear testing sites in India, schools in Pakistan, and pro-nuke rallies in both countries.

"The film itself is a tour de force, beautifully shot and often darkly funny and much more riveting than the dry subject matter might suggest."
Duncan Campbell - The Guardian, UK
