The Uncondemned.

Nick Louvel, Michele Mitchell · Documentary · 2015

"The Uncondemned," a powerful documentary by Nick Louvel and Michele Mitchell, chronicles the landmark 1997 trial that marked the first time rape was prosecuted as a war crime and an act of genocide. Set against the backdrop of the Rwandan genocide, the film compellingly follows a group of young, impassioned lawyers and three brave Rwandan women who testify about their harrowing experiences. Their courageous pursuit of justice at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda not only reshaped international law but also provided a voice for countless victims of sexual violence in conflict, making the documentary both a crucial historical record and a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.
