## Overview

A public figure chooses family over country and duty.

Each compromise is defensible in isolation. Together, they become complicity.

The question is simple: **what would you have done?**

## The stakes

This is not a history lesson. It’s a race against the clock.

- **The record is volatile.** Archives get scrubbed, narratives get rewritten, and key documents go dark.
- **Witness windows close.** Insiders disappear, lawyers intervene, and memory hardens into talking points.
- **Consequences are live.** Investigations, exile, and public reckoning compress the timeline.

## Approach

- **No primary access assumed.** Built from archival, witnesses, and verifiable fragments.
- **Archival + reconstruction.** Public image, private logistics, and stylised fragments (objects / spaces / sound) to cover what cannot be filmed.
- **Human complexity, not rehabilitation.** We keep the glamour intact, and show how moral collapse happens in plain sight.
