Faces of the Enemy: Justifying the Inhumanity of War

About This Movie

Faces of the Enemy is a thought-provoking documentary that dives deep into the psychology of war. It’s interesting how Sam Keen unpacks the mechanisms of dehumanization, showing how societies justify violence against ‘the other.’ The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to really sit with these heavy themes. The visuals are a mix of archival footage and interviews, giving it a raw, gritty vibe. What stands out is the way it forces you to reflect on how propaganda shapes perceptions. There's a kind of haunting quality to it, as it reveals the dark corners of human conflict. It’s not your typical war doc, that’s for sure.
