Oscar nominee Dror Moreh (The Gatekeepers) interrogates the consistent failure of US foreign policy to challenge genocide, using interviews with heavyweight politicians and diplomats.
From Bosnia and Kosovo, to Rwanda, Darfur and Syria, the US government and its allies have failed to avert humanitarian disasters. This disturbing history is discussed in interviews with everyone in the ‘corridors of power’, including Madeleine Albright, George Shultz, Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Henry Kissinger. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations under President Obama, Samantha Power – author of a Pulitzer Prize winning book on genocide – describes her own experiences and struggle to change the conversation, providing emotional heft to Moreh’s enlightening documentary.
