The Trial of Ratko Mladić
By Henry Singer & Robert Miller
What is the purpose of international justice? And who does it serve? In 2012, The Hague hosts the historic trial of General Ratko Mladić, the man responsible for the siege of Sarajevo and the genocide in Srebrenica. Over the course of five years, the filmmakers undertook a monumental task, based on hundreds of hours of footage with the victims, the prosecution, but also Mladić's lawyers and relatives. A dense and powerful film, which raises profoundly contemporary questions.
