About this movie

THE UNCONDEMNED is a riveting documentary about an underdog group of young lawyers and activists who defied the odds to do what had never been done: prosecute rape as an international war crime. The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed as they attempted to prosecute their first case of genocide in 1997. It wasn't going well, until three heroic Rwandan women overcame their fears and feelings of shame to come forward and speak for all those who could not. Secret memos, witness assassinations, setbacks and barriers – THE UNCONDEMNED captures the untold, remarkable story that changed the course of international judicial history.
