"WAR-TOYS is a work-in-progress photo essay and documentary film by Brian McCarty. Using Brian’s unique toy photography and principles of play and art therapy, the project explores firsthand accounts of war from the perspective of children living in its day-to-day reality. Working through local humanitarian organizations in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, WAR-TOYS focuses on the latest generation of Israelis and Palestinians that has never known an existence without the constant threat of rocket attacks, air strikes, gunfire, explosions, and incursions."

A stunning look and personification of what collateral damage really means. It's one thing to grow up playing cowboys and indians, quite another to grow up living it. There's really nothing more that can be said that isn't said better by the people responsible for putting this project together, so please give them a listen. HERE
