While I agree that aspects of this film seem lacking in overall development, this is a major piece of film making. Yes, the younger brother might not be a sympathetic character but the events that took over his life reveal much about human nature. We rarely get a chance to see films like this which are both documentary in nature, but theatrical in the sense of plot or character development. This film puts us right in the middle of a tragic horrible mistake and it is stunning to be this close to the horror of this conflict. The cinematic portraits of many of the participants are sensational. Not to be overlooked is the personal risk that was taken by the film-maker and his team. When was the last time you put your life on the line for something? I loved the opening menu sequence, with it's man on the street p.o.v. and a very contemporary sound track (I played it over at least 5 times before I started the movie) See this film you won't forget it.
