Under the Same Sun
Both long-running and largely unknown to outsiders, the territorial conflict around Nagorno-Karabakh is a stubborn wedge between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which have continued to dispute the self-proclaimed Transcaucasian republic despite a 1994 ceasefire. Listening attentively to passionate voices on either side, Québécois director François Jacob paints an insightful portrait of ethnic nationalism in the Caucasus. He meets activists, journalists and patriots, who talk about the horrors of war, trauma, loss – and the hunger for a justice that’s hard to define amidst an endless “dialogue” that only goes around in circles. How can peace prevail when relentless propaganda keeps sowing division? The filmmaker’s staunchly humanist approach seeks light beyond the politics of hate. (Charlotte Selb)
