“I never consider myself worldly or well-learned until I see a u0026quot;No Duh Documentary.u0026quot; Iu0026#39;m not an expert on the U.S. policy of hiring and protecting Nazi war criminals but MY ENEMYu0026#39;S ENEMY didnu0026#39;t manage to tell me anything that I didnu0026#39;t already know about the recruitment of u0026quot;The Butcher of Lyon,u0026quot; Klaus Barbie, and his post-WWII life in Bolivia. Barbieu0026#39;s greatest hits include the deportation of 44 children to a death camp, the murder of French Resistance leader Jean Moulin, backing several South American putsches, and teaching the U.S. a thing or two about effective torture methods (some still being used today).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis French/UK documentary showcases quite a few skeletons from the U.S. closet but spends more time demonstrating how the French government refused to bring Barbie to justice for several decades thanks to the post-WWII French governmentu0026#39;s comprise of unsavory Vichy loyalists on whom Barbie held dirt.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother damning indictment of wrong-headed decisions made out of greed and alleged anti-communist fervor, MY ENEMYu0026#39;S ENEMY holds more answers to Americans who just canu0026#39;t fathom why our country is so despised in the international arena. A truly enlightening film.”
