The movie deals with the last years of Belogannis life, his trial and execution.
It is a shameful part of my country's history that people pretend never happened. The Civil War and the years after are conviniently ignored in the history books.
Unfortunately little seems to have changed since then (regarding foreign powers dictating policy) in this country.
This movie is flawed on a technical level but strong on the story and performances.
