Le Cas Kissinger - Le Procès d'Henry Kissinger

In his book and articles for Harper's magazine, journalist Christopher Hitchens listed all the actions committed by the "wizard of diplomacy" that could, within the context of a new international jurisprudence, be considered war crimes, rimes again humanity or other crimes subject to trial. His revelation, based on recently declassified official documents, contradict the versions presented by Kissinger in his memory. The career of the man who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 was in fact characterised by violence and secrecy. Using Hitchen's work, the film attacks the former US Secretary of States as bearing direct responsibility for the lengthening of the Vietnam. War and its spread into Cambodia and Laos, for the campaigns of assassination and subversion of democracy in Chile, Cyprus, Greece and Bangladesh, and complicity in the genocide in East Timor. Shutting between past and present, the film is a critical look at the famous American interventionist of the 20 Th century.
