Forgotten Wars, Forgotten Victims

About This Movie

So, Forgotten Wars, Forgotten Victims is this heavy documentary that really digs into the overlooked civil wars in Africa over the last couple of decades. The director, John Tsambazis, does a solid job of piecing together the emotional toll these conflicts take on ordinary people—over 20 million victims, that's staggering. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each story to sink in, but it doesn’t feel drawn out. The tone is somber yet urgent, and you can sense the frustration about the West’s indifference to these crises. There's no glossing over the harsh realities; the visuals are raw, and the interviews feel intimate, pulling you into the heart of the suffering.
