dynamic and emotional

Watched it at Tribeca. The film has a good length, decent rhythm, and good camera work.

Very informative on the invisible hard work to put a stop to the endless repetition of war crimes by the Russian military (Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and so on) by securing convictions in various jurisdictions, so that in eventually the people responsible could be detained at the border as they try to enter for example EU, extradited to the country that convicted them, and face a trial.

I personally would have worked more on the music: at times it drew my attention away instead of giving me space to let the imagery sink in.
