morally courageous
Disbelief is an elegant and artful work of moral courage. The filmmakers at great personal risk pieced together media, public, and clandestine faces of one of the most influential and least known tragedies of our time. Through the voices of two sisters who have restlessly sought out the truth behind the deaths of their family in the 1999 Moscow apartment bombing, and a variety of others attempting to assist them, Disbelief realizes the capacity of documentary film to indict even seemingly untouchable authorities and make them account for their actions. But the film also speaks to the daunting machinery of power, and the disregard for human life in its brokering. This story has not yet ended, and is working itself out in politics that affect all of us still.
