Context and reception
The film sparked controversy in Venice for its direct approach and denunciation of state violence. The directors, known for their work on No other land, repeat their formula: combining archival footage with interviews of key figures in the conflict. The 25-minute standing ovation at the Mostra reflects the emotional and political impact of the work, which is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most significant documentaries.
