The Cinema of Justice



This year, the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary. The festival runs from June 11 through June 25 and the opening night film is "The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court." This history of the tribunal, founded in 2002, follows the prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo over three years as he tries, without police backing, to issue arrest warrants to Congolese warlords and the president of Sudan.
