Brother Number One is a haunting exploration of familial ties and the scars of history, wrapped in a personal journey. The film effectively captures the raw emotion of Rob Hamill as he revisits the brutal legacy of the Khmer Rouge, all while trying to piece together the tragic fate of his brother, Kerry. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the gravity of what transpired in Cambodia. While it’s a documentary, it feels more like a personal odyssey—a mix of grief and determination. The atmosphere is heavy, underscored by interviews and archival footage that create a chilling backdrop. What stands out is the way it humanizes a historical atrocity through the lens of one family's loss.
