Review of The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002) by Butch H — 28 Aug 2008
In November 1974, on a brief tour in Bangladesh, Kissinger gave a three-minute press conference in which he refused to say why he had sent the USS Enterprise into the Bay of Bengal during the independance war against Pakistan.
Within a few weeks of his departure, a faction at the US embassy in Dhaka began covertly meeting with a group of army officers who were planning a coup against Mujib (democratically elected Prime Minister).
On 15 August 1975, Mujib and forty members of his family were murdered in a military takeover. His closest former political associates were bayoneted to death in their prison cells a few months after that.
This film is an exact portrait of Henry Kissinger.
