It is the movies that show both sides that I like best. Battle of Britain, while definitely told from one side, at least shows the Germans as human.

Interestingly enough, the Game of Thrones series of books does a great job of this. Each chapter is told from the PoV of a character. IMHO the author does a great job of showing the world from the PoV of a character and then showing that same character from the PoV of another character. It really rounds things out.

Fighting it, yes. Understanding it, no.
