I have seen many documentaries about war and this one is different. The script is somewhat poetic and it doesn't give one side's perspective. Instead it speaks with the perspectives of everyone involved, captured by one actor's voice. It doesn't analyze what happened but effectively gives the viewer a sense of what each government and its people were thinking at different points of the war, using real footage from the countries involved. It is not as detailed as other documentaries but it is, after all, covering the entire war in about an hour and a half.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
