It is difficult to imagine a better film could have been made on this subject.

A poignant exploration of trauma, remembrance, and the state’s role in gatekeeping accounts of history.

An extraordinary, unsettling, powerful doco.

A touching record of the filmmaker’s efforts to better understand a place and a people he has come to know – and a history he was never taught.

By raising unsettling moral questions about the targeting of civilians during WWII, the film challenges prevailing American narratives of the ‘Good War.’
