The Memory of Justice

1976 · 278 min

A long, sobering interrogation of moral responsibility that asks you to sit with uncomfortable questions and judge no one too quickly.

Overview: This exceptional, disturbing, and thought-provoking two-part documentary compares the atrocities committed by the Nazis as revealed during the Nuremberg trials to those committed by the French in Algeria and those done by the Americans in Vietnam. The four-hour epic questions the right of any country to pass self-righteous moral judgements upon the actions of another country.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Morality, war, guilt, justice
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
