Human Rights Watch criticizes both Russians and Georgians for human rights abuses during this 2008 conflict, but HRW also says that Georgia started the conflict - inspite of the movie suggesting otherwise.

Yes, truth is a victim alright - of this movie. No wonder Georgia spent millions helping to make it!
