Review – Worse than War

As one of humanity's most loathsome occupations, genocide is a worthy target for anyone looking to do something about it. Thus it's hard to make a bad movie about the subject. But PBS and author Daniel Goldhagen come darn close. When it sticks to the facts, this is as good as any other anti-genocide picture. But far too much of the running time is devoted not to the topic itself but to Goldhagen's personal reactions to it. Once again, world of publicly-funded East Coast media, the world is full of things far more interesting than you. Hard to believe, but true nonetheless. Mildly amusing
