Duel with the Devil. Homicide in Guatemala City
Description
Guatemala City is one of the most dangerous places in the world. Fewer than 15 out of 5,000 murders result in a conviction. A culture of political repression and intimidation has left people reluctant to trust the judiciary. But - with the help of CSI training - an elite group of officers hope to change things. This documentary follows the special homicide task force as it processes up to 30 killings a night. We also hear from the killers and victims, who risk all to seek justice. The trained C.S.I. officers have passed their skills on to 400 colleagues. More and more crime scenes are yielding court-admissible forensic evidence. But winning public support for the judiciary will depend on results.
