How It Feels

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

An unflinching examination of impossible moral compromises within the machinery of genocide, focusing on the anguished humanity of those forced to participate in their own people's destruction. The film offers no redemption, only the weight of unbearable choices made in darkness.
