Visit www.sfiff.org The documentary looks at the early days of the International Criminal Court, a body formed by the United Nations to prosecute high-profile national criminals in places like Uganda, Congo, Sudan, and Columbia. The film focuses on Luis Moreno-Ocampo, a charismatic lawyer hoping to bring those wrongdoers to justice. One wonders, once again why the United States is exempt from prosecution for its criminal decisions, such as torture ordered by the Bush administration.
