A 90’ feature doc about the Nuremberg Trials when for the first time in history, a state was held to account by a higher force - the international community - for its actions. The film uses newly digitised footage to tell the story like a courtroom drama with all the unfolding twists and turns. The contemporary voices of leading human rights lawyers Philippe Sands, Dapo Akande and the 100-year-old only surviving Nuremberg prosecutor Ben Ferencz are interwoven with the historical words of the court psychologist and acerbic female journalists who covered the trial. Throughout, the film draws disturbing parallels with what’s happening today and in doing so, reminds us that it wasn’t really that long ago that these atrocities were allowed to happen.
