The Trial of Ratko Mladic
UK, 2018 (99 min.)
On November 22, 2017, the Bosnian Serb General, Ratko Mladic, was found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity at the ICTY in The Hague and sentenced to life in prison. Mladic was associated with the murder of over 7,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995 — the worst crime on European soil since World War II. Filmed over five years with unprecedented access to the Prosecution, the Defence, witnesses who gave evidence, and Mladic’s family members and supporters in Bosnia, it tells an epic story of justice, accountability and a country trying to escape from the past.
“If you’re going to understand anyone, particularly someone accused of really terrible crimes (...) the approach we took was that he is a human being.”
