A Film by Alex Gibney & Eugene Jarecki
Is Henry Kissinger a war criminal? Featuring previously unseen footage, newly declassified U.S. government documents, and revealing interviews with key insiders from Henry Kissinger's White House years, this new film examines charges facing the former Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Focusing on his role in three key events - America's secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969, the approval of Indonesia's genocidal assault on East Timor in 1975, and the assassination of a Chilean general in 1970 - THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER also examines the possibility that Kissinger, by sabotaging the 1969 Paris peace talks to further Nixon's candidacy and his own concomitant rise to power, bears responsibility for all the deaths in Vietnam from 1969 to 1975.
To debate the issues, the film brings together Kissinger's friends, colleagues, and detractors, including Gen. Alexander Haig, Jr., Seymour Hersh, Christopher Hitchens, Walter Isaacson, William Safire, Lt. General Brent Scowcroft, and William Shawcross, as well as Vietnam peace talks delegate Daniel Davidson, former U.S. Ambassadors Edward Korry and David Newsom, National Security Council staffer Roger Morris, Human Rights Lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, and Professor of Law Michael Tigar, among others.
Shedding light on a career long shrouded in secrecy, the film explores how a young boy who fled Nazi Germany grew up to become one of the most powerful men in American foreign policy and now, in the autumn of his life, one of its most controversial figures.
