‘Lives’ is a short documentary produced by NATO to mark its 30th anniversary in 1979.

The film portrays five families from various countries in the Alliance: the family of an Italian Navy officer, a German school instructor, a Danish scientist, a UK civil servant working at NATO on arms control and disarmament, and a US Navy pilot.

The documentary highlights the families' shared dedication to the Alliance and their ability to reach their full potential under the peace and security that NATO provides, despite their diverse backgrounds and individual struggles.
