A few days ago the shortlist for this year's Best Documentary Feature Oscar was announced. One of those on the list is “Which Way Home”, an arresting film that we talked about previously which examines the difficult journey of Central American child migrants to the U.S.
One of the other favorites is “Sergio”, a documentary based on the life of veteran Brazilian U.N. diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello. He worked tirelessly for the organization as a mediator worldwide and also labored in the UN's High Commissioner for Refugees office. His last post was as the UN's special representative in Iraq; it was in Baghdad where he died in 2003 as a result of a bomb attack.
Below is the trailer for “Sergio”; see for yourself if it’s worthy or not of being an Oscar contender:
