"Bloody Blue Paradise"

- Last chance for peace in Sri Lanka, the war-torn island

In December 2003 a "peace army", composed of trained civilians from around the world launched a three-year pilot project at the invitation of local groups.While high-level peace negotiations are underway, Sri Lanka is in danger of returning to armed conflict. The field members of Peaceforce will provide protective presence in vulnerable villages across the island and accompany individuals and groups from all sides of the conflict when they are at risk in peacekeeping activities.
The filmmakers visited all field members in December 2003, these courageous people with various backgrounds and cultures do agree to be accompanied by us. The project is planned as longterm observation. The main focus will be to see which hopes and expectations motivate these people for their delicate work. Will they be able to bring this pilot project to a satisfying end or is there no hope at all for growing peace in this region where more than 64.000 people have been killed and 1.6 million displaced in the civil war ?
