This film explores the issues of pride and shame in the national histories of states, addressing topics that spark debate in contemporary societies, such as colonial legacies, wars, religious conflicts, and economic exploitation. As demands for reparations grow in number and intensity, monuments are toppled, and moral values are reassessed, the need to distinguish between personal and collective responsibility becomes increasingly important, as does the need to address whether progress can ever justify atrocities.
