The Trials of Henry Kissinger. -Thursday No pre-teens. $7.50 Various times.

"Is the Nobel Laureate and most famous diplomat of his generation also a war criminal? Provoked by the Christopher Hitchens book, filmmakers Eugene Jareck and Alex Gibney have constructed a documentary which is both brilliant legal brief and chilling psycho-drama. Charges that Kissinger was instrumental in creating the coup that toppled Chilean President Allende, that he undermined LBJ's Vietnam peace talks, engineered the secret bombing of Cambodia, and approved Indonesia's use of US arms to massacre 100,000 East Timorese have resulted in summonses by five nations seeking to depose him. The film plumbs the depth of one man's soul, as it questions basic tenets of international law."
