The Uncondemned: Film and Q&A

November 4, 2017 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm

The Brattleboro Film Festival (BFF) will present the documentary “The Uncondemned” as part of its annual festival, Saturday, November 4 at 5 p.m. in the Latchis Main Theater, along with a post-screening discussion.

Co-sponsored by Latchis Arts and the Windham World Affairs Council, “The Uncondemned” is a riveting documentary about an underdog group of lawyers and activists who defied the odds to do what had never been done: prosecute rape as an international war crime. Up until this point, rape had not been prosecuted as a war crime and was committed with impunity. Secret memos, witness assassinations, setbacks and barriers––The Uncondemned captures the untold, remarkable story that changed the course of international judicial history.  \Acclaimed by the Guardian as “a courtroom thriller crackling with suspense” “The Uncondemned” beautifully interweaves a personal human drama and 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 forever.

Screening will be followed with a discussion with film Director Michele Mitchell and the Honorable Patricia Whalen. Whalen has been a judge for more than 20 years, presiding over proceedings in the U.S. and serving as an international judge in the War Crimes Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2007–2012). She is currently a Special Advisor to the Court in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on judicial education in international law, judicial management systems, trial management, hybrid legal systems, and judicial trial skills particularly in regards to war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and gender-based violence. She lives in Westminster West. This event is supported in part by the Vermont Humanities Council.
