Preview Screening – Kissinger

With exclusive and unparalleled access Adrian Pennink’s documentary unfolds around incredible interviews with Henry Kissinger during a series of trips to China, Israel and Russia.

Combining these unique conversations with exceptional archive footage, the film gives an extraordinary insight into the mind, personality and motivation of one of the most influential figures in the history of American foreign policy.

Covering his time in office, and beyond through his political advisory work with subsequent US presidents and foreign powers, Kissinger gives a definitive portrait of this controversial and fascinating public figure.

Through over 20 hours of interviews, of which Kissinger seems to hope will be part historical testament, part exoneration, we gain a understanding of the man himself and his unease with his own legacy.
