MaryAnn’s quick take…
Meet the dedicated young lawyers and activists who prosecuted and convicted the first person ever to go to prison for genocide and wartime rape. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
For all the bloody history of the 20th century, and even with great strides toward concepts of international justice such as the Nuremberg trials, no one had ever been tried for, let alone convicted of, genocide. An idealistic group of young lawyers, activists, and journalists wanted to change that after the nightmare of the mass killings of the Tutsi people in Rwanda in 1994, which saw up to a million people slaughtered, and many more subjected to brutal systemic rape. And though rape had been considered a war crime since 1919, no one had ever been tried for, let alone convicted of, rape as a war crime,...

If you’re looking for a documentary about courage against all odds, Michele Mitchell (“Haiti: Where Did the Money Go?”) and Nick Louvel’s (“Domino One”) documentary “The Uncondemned” might fit the bill, chronicling the first trial to persecute rape as an international war crime, setting historic legal precedent for prosecution of future war crimes.
The documentary begins as a conventional courtroom drama, following a group of lawyers and activists in the late 1990s at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda who found themselves in charge of the first case of genocide in history.
