An old-time war reporter, philosopher and writer, Bernard-Henri Lévy is sent by a group of newspapers (Paris Match, La Repubblica, The Wall Street Journal, Der Stern and others) to bear witness and reports from places in the world where suffering and misery are at their peak, where wars are going on under our noses, where the world's destiny is being determined and no one, it seems, is paying attention. The Will to See is an unflinching look at the most urgent humanitarian crisis around the globe.

Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Although Lévy’s impassioned dispatches occasionally exhibit a weakness for purple prose, his mission serves a sobering reminder of those left behind as well as the failure to heed warning signs... Apr 29, 2022 Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Pretty much the only thing you’re likely to learn is that Bernard-Henri Levy is a very cool, very serious dude, especially when he helps Kurdish fighters set up a flag outside of some caves. Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Gerald Peary Arts Fuse Again and again, we are taken in The Will to See to places where regular reporters never venture, and certainly not filmgoers. May 11, 2022 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Extraordinary. I'm getting chills just remembering it. May 9, 2022 Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald The will to see is a strikingly relevant return to the war fronts of journalist Bernard-Henri Levy's past. Rated: B+ May 6, 2022 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience If the daily news cycle wasn’t enough to show you how bad the world is right now, here is a documentary to tell you that, no, it’s actually worse!
