Eye to Eye

Violent death is always a difficult event for the survivors. It takes years to cope with it, and in the end the pain can only be alleviated. The ways to deal with trauma can vary. The director follows a particularly demanding method: Families seek reconciliation by coming face to face with the murderer. Can dialogue with this person bring catharsis and sense, as the psychologists hope? What do you say and what should you want to hear? Is forgiveness an option? The documentary mainly lets the powerful moments speak for themselves and presents raw, emotionally challenging footage of preparation and the final meeting. (One World)
