Peter Raymont is a Canadian documentarist with more than 100 films to his credit who subscribes to John Grierson's definition of a documentary as "the creative treatment of actuality." While in Rwanda shooting the documentary Rwanda: In Search of Hope (1999), he first began thinking about a film on Dallaire, who at the time was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. Raymont's films bear witness to inhuman conditions and war violence all around the world, including two documentaries on the war in Nicaragua: The World Is Watching (1988) and The World Stopped Watching (2003).
