Oliver Stone - the outsider

Oliver Stone is the troubled conscience of an America he loves to expose for its own flaws. His country has been, almost always, the true subject of his twenty feature films and ten documentaries. The director of Platoon, Wall Street, JFK, and Natural Born Killers sees his art as a quest for truth bordering on obsession. An obsession that has left its mark on his prolific career —awarded four Oscars—yet consistently accompanied by controversy, as if that were the very essence of his cinema. Amine Mestari’s documentary revisits his story, that of a man who has constantly sought his own truth by telling the story of a country that has long tried to hide its own.
