| Imagine that you are at work, at school, in a coffee shop, at a playground, going about your daily routine. Now imagine that without warning bombs start raining down on your city. Within hours troops are at the edge of your town. Within days your city is under siege. Civilians have fled. Soldiers face down the enemy in town squares. Bullet holes mark every building. Your country is at war and downtown is the front line. What happens when your front yard is a battleground? Your child’s school is a field hospital? The ice cream factory — a temporary morgue? What happens to the civilians when a simple trip to home to retrieve clothing can land you in a POW camp for 9 years? War changes everything that is familiar to you — the people, places and landscapes are forever changed. Return Ticket: Halifax-Abadan-Halifax traces one man’s journey as he explores the stories of survival of civilians caught in a city under siege. It is a deeply personal story that brings to life not only the past, but also the far-reaching effects on people, families and communities of living in the shadow of war. |
