Low-keyed, rambling, sometimes emotional report by Stanley Burke on conditions in a wartorn Biafran village. Opening sequence shows a coffin maker at work. Other men work in a bicycle repair shop. Shots of a small market place, damaged by rocket fire selling goods at exorbitant prices. Numerous wounded soldiers and civilians, under-nourished women and children are shown. In spite of hardships, they are determined to carry on fighting. Sequence on a palm wine bar, Burke sampling some. Automobiles can still be seen moving around under home-made gasoline power. A missionary is shown with a starved child while other children attend an orphanage school. Burke hands out candy and is practically mobbed. Burke comments bitterly on those who wage war against helpless women and children out of principle and questions Canada's lack of desire to find out how things really are there. <18mn 15s>
