    Storyline

    Edit
    Charismatic, charming and complex, Sergio Vieira de Mello was the world's go-to guy, a man who could descend into the most dangerous places, charm the worst war criminals, and somehow protect the lives of the ordinary people to whom he'd devoted his life. SERGIO tells the story of his most treacherous mission ever...a mission in which his own life hangs in the balance. —Anonymous

    • Trivia
      According to Carolina Larriera, a survivor of the bombing and Sergio's partner, questions remain whether security at the Baghdad mission wasn't deliberately weakened, perhaps to divert attacks from coalition targets. An Iraqi who was arrested for the bombing, Awraz Andel Aziz Majmoud Said, was willing to speak about his role in the attack but despite the many international requests, he was executed before making a statement before the courts.

    Beautiful and Sad
    Amazing man! Amazing mission. Too bad that war-torn country couldn't see that. Documentary so well done. So many lives lost and for what?! I would Love for each and every politician to see this documentary. I'll leave my review at that. But, respect I have. I felt so bad for Sergio's mom. I hope His sons are doing well.
