My Enemy's Enemy

Synopsis

A look at the history of one-time Gestapo commander Klaus Barbie, infamously known as 'The Butcher of Lyon'. Klaus was a Nazi torturer, American spy and tool of repressive right-wing regimes. His story is symbolic of the real relationship that Western governments had with fascism, and reflects the world as it is today - and the politicians that inhabit it - in a very different way.
