Watchers of the Sky

Watchers of the Sky is a powerful and thought-provoking documentary that explores the legacy of Raphael Lemkin, the Polish-Jewish lawyer who coined the term "genocide" and fought tirelessly for its recognition as a crime against humanity. The film follows four modern-day activists, including US Ambassador Samantha Power, as they continue Lemkin's work, fighting against apathy and oppression to bring about accountability and peace in the face of genocide and other mass atrocities. Through their stories, Watchers of the Sky delves into the cycles of violence and resistance that have marked human history, and asks us to confront the difficult question: why is the killing of a million people considered a lesser crime than the killing of an individual?
