I saw this film in New York City last year. I didn't find it
controversial, though it will be eye-opening to thsow unfamiliar with the
events. It isn't just Hitchens who makes the case against
Kissinger. Many others do as well. It is a good chance to see
Hitchens before he became such a jerk. The film is very good and well
worth seeing. Every time I see Kissinger pontificating on TV, I want to
strangle him. His actions make a lot of current day "war criminals" look
like choir boys.

Winner of the Nobel
Peace Prize, one of the most influential statesmen of
modern times, Henry
Kissinger seems assured of his place in history. Yet, in
this controversial
and eye-opening documentary from Eugene Jarecki and Alex
Gibney, journalist
Christopher Hitchens makes the case that Kissinger is
nothing less than a
war criminal, directly responsible for prolonging the
Vietnam War and
masterminding the secret bombing of Cambodia and the coup of
Chile's
President Allende. "An indispensable primer on U.S. foreign
policy" -
