Robe de guerre/Robes of War

"Winner of the Jutra Award, this five-minute animated short is a lyrical exploration of the impact of war on women, their bodies, and their families. Bringing a feminist sensibility to a contemporary issue, this film examines what happens when war insinuates itself inside the very being of a woman. Like a grieving Madonna, a woman weeps for her son and brother. From this pain, an army of women springs up, a powerful column inspired by faith and rebellion. The thirst for justice becomes a thirst for revenge. The woman's body is a weapon and her robes are her armor. She who once gave life will now deal out death."
