Law Not War
Self
Chronicles the adventurous life of Hungarian-born Jewish lawyer Benjamin Ferencz, who fled to the USA as a child and later became chief war crime prosecutor in the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-1949 and one of the founding members of the International Criminal Court, which entered into force in 2002.

Self
A documentary exploring why African cult/militia leader and indicted war criminal fugitive Joseph Kony needs to be arrested by the end of 2012.
Prosecutor
Himself
Critics say Luis Moreno-Ocampo's justice threatens peace, while champions of justice criticise his weaknesses. The world's first permanent International Criminal Court is making headlines - issuing an arrest warrant for a sitting head of state for war crimes, Sudanese President Al-Bashir in July 2008 and now seeking the arrest of Colonel Gaddafi, his son Saif and his brother-in-law, the intelligence chief Abdullah Sanussi. Cameras follow the prosecutor in New York as he defends the Al-Bashir warrant at the UN Security Council; in The Hague, as he opens the Court's first trial of alleged Congolese war criminal Thomas Lubanga; and in the Congo as he meets citizens affected by the trial. The prosecutor must keep one step ahead of them all. (Storyville)
Bajo el mismo sol
When victims who have suffered those crimes, turn to justice in order to reconstruct their lives and their dignity, they are invariably confronted with a complex framework of political and economic interests operating against them, generating oftentimes insurmountable obstacles. In their efforts, they discover that principles such as Universal Justice may be their only path to overcome these obstacles or to accelerate judicial processes. The story repeats itself at different moments, in different places around the globe, under the same sun.
Darfur Now
Himself
This acclaimed documentary follows the story of six people who are determined to end the sufferings in Sudan's war-ravaged Darfur. The six - an American activist, an international prosecutor, a Sudanese rebel, a sheikh, a leader of the World Food Program and an internationally known actor - demonstrate the power of how one individual can create extraordinary changes.
