Part contemporary investigation and part historical inquiry, this
documentary follows the quest of one journalist in search of
justice. The film focuses on Christopher Hitchens' charges against
Henry Kissinger as a war criminal -- allegations documented in
Hitchens' book of the same title -- based on his role in countries
such as Cambodia, Chile, and Indonesia. Kissinger's story raises
profound questions about American foreign policy and highlights a new
era of human rights. Increasing evidence about one man's role in a
long history of human rights abuses leads to a critical examination of
American diplomacy through the lens of international standards of
justice. Wesley Morris of the Boston Globe calls The Trials of Henry
Kissinger "a stunning and overwhelmingly cogent case for Kissinger as
a calculating war criminal," and Michael Rechtshaffen of the Hollywood
Reporter exclaims, "both damning and damned compelling."
