Crimes Against Humanity. Justice Pursued
Description
Rwanda, Argentina, East Germany, and Bosnia have been the locus for some of the most heinous acts of the last 20 years. In this program, Gerald Gahima, Rwanda's Minister of Justice, has the unenviable job of tracking down hundreds of Rwandans accused of perpetrating hideous atrocities against their neighbors during that country's recent civil war. We follow Gahima to Israel, where, in an emotional meeting with a former Nazi-hunter, Gahima receives advice on how to proceed. The torture and murder of thousands of young Argentines are detailed by a survivor. In East Germany, newly discovered Stasi training tapes paint a brutal portrait of political repression behind the Berlin Wall, while in Bosnia, efforts to track down the perpetrators of ethnic cleansing are ongoing.
