Special Jury Award at IDFA
The film won the Special Jury Award at the Amsterdam International Documentary Festival (IDFA). The jury said YOU DON’T LIKE THE TRUTH
is "An important story. Its effective use of evidence, opinion and
testimony, creates a provocative and moving story that reaches into the
dark hole of our consciousness.
The film maintains a consistent visual and audio vocabulary that allows
its viewers to determine what is just and what is moral. It challenges
its viewers to consider: what is a crime in the times of war and where
are the boundaries of our humanity."
