In July 2006, Canadian UN peacekeeper Major Paeta Hess-von Kruedener made a final phone call to his wife, Cynthia Wadsworth, from a post in southern Lebanon. Amid crackling static, she told him, "I love you." Fifteen minutes later, the outpost was bombed—killing him and three other unarmed peacekeepers.
This heart-wrenching moment, a testament to love amid conflict, is part of the upcoming documentary Blue Helmets, No Borders premiering September 16 on CGTN. The film sheds light on the untold stories of peacekeepers navigating danger zones worldwide 🌐⚔️.
Major Hess-von Kruedener’s story reminds us of the human cost of global peace efforts—and the quiet heroism that often goes unseen. 💙🕊️
