Prosecutor

Barry Stevens
2010 | 1 h 34 min
Prosecutor offers unprecedented access to the inner workings of the International Criminal Court only a few years after its inception. At its centre is Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the Court’s first-ever Chief Prosecutor, as he takes on the daunting task of investigating and trying those responsible for humanity’s most horrific genocides and war crimes. Hailed as a hero by victims yet reviled by political enemies on both ends of the spectrum, Ocampo navigates high-stakes diplomacy, global resistance and moral complexity in his pursuit of justice. With front-row access to landmark trials and behind-the-scenes strategizing, the film captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of international law. Inspired in part by Erna Paris’s The Sun Climbs Slow, Prosecutor raises a compelling question: Can the ICC truly deliver justice on a global scale, or is it destined to remain an ambitious dream?
