By collecting these accounts together and giving them the space to breathe, Dark Suns builds up a disturbing profile of a country which is infested by corruption and greed. Go to Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry 06/06/2019
Dark Suns is utterly vital and haunting, chronicling a staggering history of crime and injustice that needs urgent attention from any higher-up with a conscience. It's often difficult to stomach, but these stories need to be told. Go to Full Review Adrian Mack Georgia Straight 05/06/2019
Shot in luminous black-and-white and edited to perfection, this 154-minute Canadian production might be the definitive take on the subject. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/12/2022 Un documental que logra unir diferentes partes de un rompecabezas pero que como tal, es parte de un todo, que es importante ver y analizar. Si quieres romper la burbuja de la realidad esta película es un golpe de frente contra ella. See more 11/03/2019 An extraordinary achievement. A truly important film on a subject both terrifying and horrifying. The enormous sweep of the evil perpetrated upon the innocent "Disappeared" fills the viewer with outrage, dread, and inevitable despair. I hope this film finds wider distribution.
