Maven's Nest

Angry finger-pointing examination of how a Nazi war criminal influenced U.S. foreign policy for 40 years. . . Revealing look at torture history is even more relevant today.

Rated: 7/10

PopMatters

The "line of character" considered by the film is less Klaus Barbie's than the ideology and politics that shape Western activities, both official and covert, postwar and after.

Well-made documentary about that evil butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie. He managed to escape from Germany and set up a whole new life in Bolivia. He was brought back to France more then 40 years after the war to face justice.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A must-see documentary about the life of nazi Klaus Barbie. Beats fiction by far. A Fourt Reich in the Andes? And he almost got away with it? Jeez.
