 Part contemporary investigation and part historical inquiry, documentary follows the quest of one journalist in search of justice. The film focuses on Christopher Hitchens  charges against Henry Kissinger as a war criminal - allegations documented in Hitchens  book of the same title - based on his role in countries such as Cambodia, Chile, and Indonesia. Kissinger s story raises profound questions about American foreign policy and highlights a new era of human rights. Increasing evidence about one man s role in a long history of human rights abuses leads to a critical examination of American diplomacy through the lens of international standards of justice.
