The multi-talented trio of Canadian filmmakers - Ed Barreveld, Michael Kot and Daniel Sekulich - make up the team of Storyline Entertainment, who along with the National Film Board, co-produced the mesmerizing doc. Filmed on location in Russia, Vietnam, Bosnia and France, Aftermath follows the true stories of people who continue to work under hazardous conditions to clean up their countries after war, and reveals not only the human suffering caused by the lingering repercussions of toxic chemicals and unexploded artillery, but also that war never really ends.
