THE UNCONDEMNED 📽️ Screening Weds 21st November at Clifford Chance @6.30pm - for tickets: http://bit.ly/2ToQes5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Set in the courts of the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the film tells the gripping and world-changing story of a group of young international lawyers and activists who fought to make rape a crime of war, and the Rwandan women who came forward to testify and win justice where there had been none. Up until this point, rape had not been prosecuted as a war crime and was committed with impunity. A courtroom thriller and personal human drama, "The Uncondemned" beautifully interweaves the stories of the characters in this odyssey, leading to the trial at an international criminal court--and the results that changed the world of criminal justice
