Even if the case against Kissinger is not fully convincing, the documentary keeps you glued to your seat and thinking long after you've left the theater. The film is insightful about Kissinger's background and history. Fascinating to watch as a portrait of political celebrity and ego. A stunning and overwhelmingly cogent case for Kissinger as a calculating war criminal.

British director Robert Stone takes a dispassionate look at this circus, and his retelling of events makes the situation more complicated than I remembered. The footage is astonishing, revealing the events of 30 years ago and some scary truths about where the world is today.

Finally, a documentary about one of America's most important academics.
