SYNOPSIS:
Helicopters attacking villages. Armed troops burning homes and shooting children. Houses on fire as planes roar through the sky. The crudely drawn pictures show the horrors of war through the eyes of children in two of the world's most violent places: Sri Lanka and Sudan.
Dr. Jerry Ehrlich, a pediatrician working with Doctors Without Borders, brought home hundreds of these drawings. Crayons and Paper is his story and the story of countless children devastated by war.
