Investigative Journalism at its
best – is what came to my mind after watching this terrific documentary based
on a book of the same name by Jeremy Scahill. As my friend mentioned in his
review earlier – hats off to America for letting someone make this kind of a
documentary stating facts and figures, not only allowing it to release – it actually
gets the Academy’s Nomination too for Best Documentary Feature, that’s saying a
lot about the “Freedom of Expression in a democracy”. It’s actually mind
blowing to see a news anchor actually asking him “Why are you still alive?”. Fantastic
is the way Jeremy Scahill travels to Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and other
countries where the United States has taken military action investigating the
United States military and government cover-up of the deaths of civilians all
over. What comes out in the investigation is something truly mind-blowing and it’s
insane to see the X Govt Officials not only not denying it rather some of them accepts
it too. I haven’t seen a Documentary better than this or the one which covers a
better subject as far as US of A is concerned. It is indeed way better than
watching a thriller which makes no sense, this one touched me deep inside, it’s
heartening to see the both sides of the same coin, the way the locals treat
him, talk to him, disclose the facts and what all information he gets for the
film and his book, even he didn’t expect where it will lead him. Films like
these just cannot be rated but I will still give it a definite 5/5 with a two
thumbs up recommendation, again something which cannot be missed by anyone. A must
watch for all.
