Reviews
Between September 16 and 18, 1982, for two nights and three days,
the killers of Sabra and Shatila went about their crimes. The
massacre deeply shook the public throughout the world, but today has
been almost forgotten, although unanswered questions still surface:
what drives people to such excesses of brutality, and how are the
perpetrators able to live on? Massaker is a psycho-political study
of six perpetrators who participated in the massacre of Sabra and
Shatila both on orders and on their own personal initiative. The
film intertwines the mental dispositions of the killers with their
political environment and broaches the phenomenon of collective
violence through their accounts.
