- Since the 19th Century, the creation of an International Criminal Court to prosecute human rights violators has been a fleeting goal of international civil society. The precedent was established with the Nuremberg Trials, but never before has such an institution been created on a permanent, global basis. "Prosecutor" explores the behind- the-scenes drama of the tumultuous year-in-the-life of the court's first Chief Prosecutor, the controversial Argentinian jurist, Luis Moreno Ocampo. Ocampo's actions - including laying charges against the elected President of Sudan - are widely praised and criticized. From the learned judges, to the young Canadian lawyers, to the international legal experts addressing war crimes, the ICC is in the eye of a political and legal hurricane. Based in part on award-winning author Erna Paris's bestselling book, "The Sun Climbs Slow" and incorporating interviews, archival footage, private correspondence and documents, "Prosecutor" is an intense journey through the backroom politics and tough decisions that are at the heart of international peace and justice.
- In July 1995, forces of the Army of the Republika Srpska, the VRS, invaded the town of Srebrenica, in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. In a few horrific days, more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim boys and men were taken to places of detention, abused, tortured and then executed. As their bodies fell into mass graves, the machinery of denial of those crimes was set into motion. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia-commonly referred to as the ICTY, investigated, prosecuted and passed judgement on those crimes. This film tells that story.
- Dubrovnik and Crimes against Cultural Heritage tells the story of the ICTY prosecution of deliberate attacks on many cultural sites in the former Yugoslavia, and uses the cases related to Dubrovnik as a case study.
- In early 1993, a full scale war erupted in the Lasva Valley of Central Bosnia, between forces of the Bosnian Croats and the Bosnian Muslims, former allies in the war against the Serbs, with the involvement of neighboring Croatia on one side and foreign mujahedeen on the other side. Lurid crimes against civilians were committed on regular basis, before the eyes of the UN peacekeeping forces and international TV crews. Investigations into crimes committed by both sides began even while the crimes were still happening. Unsurprisingly, some of the first indictments issued by the Office of the Prosecutor of the newly established International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia were related to crimes in Central Bosnia. Through interviews with protagonists and courtroom footage, Crimes before the ICTY: Central Bosnia tells the story of how the crimes were discovered, the subsequent investigations by the Tribunal and the difficult path to establishing the facts about what happened. It is the story of the early days of the modern international justice system.
- The documentary focuses on the cases heard by the Tribunal concerning crimes that occurred in the area of Prijedor, in north-west Bosnia, in 1992.
