This film isn’t about the USSR or Bulgaria, nor about Czechoslovakia. This is an anti-war film. This is a film that will ask of you to understand that the good and the bad guys don’t exist on the level of power that controls when and where a war breaks out. The good and bad guys are us – the little people. The ones who choose our governments and choose what to believe and how much research to do. The ones who can see truths beyond what media and news outlets tell us and who criticize the people in control of our destinies. The good and the bad people aren’t in charge but they still have a voice. It’s easy to pick a side. But it’s necessary to search for the truth beyond those sides. “I’m not a bad man” follows an occupant back into the territory he once invaded. It brings him in conversation with those he invaded, and it gives him the chance to show his side of the story. Hopefully, it will help us understand that giving teenagers guns and forcing them into dangerous situations – in 1968, and today – is an unlawful and terrifying way to govern people. This film is a journey through the inhumanity of war and the cruelty of forcing people to believe in its virtues. Let’s take this journey together.
