Srebrenica: Massacre during trial | Genocide

This powerful documentary explores how a tribunal investigating war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, specifically the murder of more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in Srebrenica, led to the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. The film depicts the Balkan conflict of the 1990s alongside the pursuit of justice after the Dayton Accords. The film depicts the horrors of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and forced migration that began after Yugoslavia began to break up. The first-hand accounts of survivors highlight the human cost of the war, from the siege of Sarajevo to the Srebrenica massacre. It also shows how investigators and prosecutors at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia brought cases against those responsible, including Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, and how this tribunal ultimately gave birth to the ICC. The film ends by asking whether justice can truly heal a devastated region, and what the future holds for international justice today.
