My Enemy's Enemy

Klaus Barbie, the notorious 'Butcher of Lyon,' escapes the Nuremberg trials. His path instead winds through the covert corridors of American intelligence before delivering him into the service of right-wing Bolivian dictators. This documentary traces that sinister trajectory, constructing from archival footage, interviews, and declassified files a counter-narrative of post-war history. Here, fascist ideology was not defeated but quietly assimilated into the political machinery of the West. One man's story becomes a prism, revealing the true nature of the alliances that reshaped the global order.
