The New York Times

Does an impressive job of relating the complicated history of the war and of filling in the background.

By Stephen Holden FULL REVIEW

The A.V. Club

As persuasive and exhaustive as the film's evidence is, the stock footage of charred corpses and bombed-out communities demands more than the smug talking heads that Bogdanich presents, safe in their offices and comfortable with their rightness.

FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

As Lord Peter Carrington, former mediator of the European Community, points out, a case can be made for all sides in this highly complicated civil war.

By Ken Fox FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

Claims to sort the bad guys from the good, which is its essential problem.

By Jessica Winter FULL REVIEW

New York Post

Bogdanich's film contends that the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO in 1999 was the result of blunders by the West, and that the forces supported by the United States in Bosnia and Kosovo are allied with Osama bin Laden.

By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

New York Daily News

Bogdanich turned in an exhaustively thorough document that sheds some light on a tragedy that remains shadowy to those outside its domain.
