Political heavyweights help build a picture of how America has responded to reports of genocide, war crimes and mass atrocities as the only global superpower after the fall of the Soviet Union.

James Jackson

Times (UK)

... It’s as rigorous and authoritative — and indeed riveting — an examination of America’s response to human-rights atrocities as you could ask for.

Rated: 4/5

We feel compelled to keep watching — to bear witness to what happens when America looks away, and to reflect on the lessons of history...

Washington Post

It is the sharply jarring — and dismayingly repetitive — footage of carnage that will stay with you long after the echoes of the film’s subjects’ words have faded from your mind.

Rated: 3/4

Next Best Picture

It is tremendously essential that such lessons of history be revisited and the continual failings brought upon by world powers be interrogated. However, just because the cause is noble doesn’t automatically make for engaging results.

Rated: 5/10

In Review Online

What we have here is a film that’s conceit lies in ideological ambivalence, which conclusively allows those with very determined imperial goals to design history around their perspective.
