What critics are saying

Intensely engaging and immensely intimate. Co-directors Marcus Vetter and Michele Gentile plant us into a world where war itself is a crime.
The Independent Critic Score 3.5 / 4.0 · Richard Propes Read full review →
Gentile and Vetter clearly trust the inherent power of their material to leave a lasting impact. That trust is most warranted.
Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh · War and Justice View on Rotten Tomatoes →
A politically charged exploration of the International Criminal Court and its importance in keeping order in an increasingly disordered world. A definite must-watch.
