Val Kermode Eye for Film on "The Reckoning"

“This is no talking heads documentary. Cameras take us into the displacement camps of Uganda, where local survivors talk of their babies beaten to death. In Congo there are interviews with former child soldiers and sex slaves. There are video scenes of human remains in burnt out houses, where the crying of witnesses on the soundtrack is possibly the most harrowing element. If you find this depressing, wait until you hear about the political opposition.”
