How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A searing account of one man's moral reckoning as he witnessed genocide unfold while constrained by political indifference and international failure. Dallaire's testimony is both a personal testimony of trauma and a damning indictment of institutional cowardice.
