| Summary |
"This documentary, directed by Danish filmmaker Ove Nyholm, features perpetrators of the worst war crimes committed over the last fifty years. The film is the result of research carried out by Nyholm, who has travelled the world in order to find the answer to the question: What makes ordinary people commit mass slaughter and indulge in genocide during war time? And how do they get on with their everyday life with having hundreds of killings on their conscience? A number of executioners speak about their personal history and their involvement in some of the cruelest genocides in Europe during the last fifty years - from the Holocaust to the recent tragedy in the Balkans. A Serbian paramilitary says he would go crazy if he tried to recall every murder while a former Einsatz commander during World War Two explains the most efficient way to execute people. This film won Best Documentary at the 2006 Robert Festival. (From Denmark, in Danish, German, Albanian, English and Serbian, English subtitles) CC WS " --Website |
