Crimes Against Humanity. The Long Road to Reconciliation
Description
In 1992, white South African policeman Brian Mitchell was jailed for life on eleven counts of murder. Under new government amnesty policies designed to unite the torn nation, he is now free. Recently, he returned to the scene of his crimes. Using Bosnia, Chile, Mozambique, and South Africa as examples, this program probes whether national reconciliation can be purchased at the price of justice for victims of political terror. It asks whether national unification is even possible if victims perceive themselves as forgotten.
