The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court is an epic, nail-biting account of the new International Criminal Court’s struggle to prosecute perpetrators — however powerful or concealed they may be — of crimes against humanity as the Court fights to establish its own credibility on the world stage.  This is a great article on the background info for the documentary and a bio of the filmmakers:  http://www.rikomatic.com/blog/2009/06/the-reckoning-documentary-about-international-criminal-court-premiering-july-14-on-pbs.html

Launched in 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is the first international tribunal of its kind — a permanent criminal court created to prosecute individuals, no matter how powerful, for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. “The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court,” a feature-length documentary filmed in High Definition on four continents, follows the dynamic and charismatic Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo, Deputy Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and Senior Trial Attorney Christine Chung as they issue arrest warrants for the Lord’s Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, put four Congolese warlords on trial at The Hague, challenge the UN Security Council to support the Court’s call for an arrest warrant for the President of Sudan on charges of genocide, and shake up the Colombian justice system.

Filmed at ICC headquarters in The Hague for three years with unprecedented access to the inner workings of the Court, the dreamers behind it, and the obstacles they overcome as they create a new paradigm for global justice. In places where the Court has intervened, we see a dramatic ICC justice effect and hear the voices of people in the conflict situation countries. They are captured taking action and discussing what they can do to end the culture of impunity as a result of notorious criminals facing a reckoning with this new Court and the international law it was created to enforce. “The Reckoning” puts in high relief the mounting drama of the international justice movement, embodied in this tiny court in The Hague that is struggling to change the world and how we think about justice.

A highly praised documentary, “The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court” was selected for the U.S. Documentary Competition at the Sundance Film Festival and was featured as the Opening Night Film at the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival at Lincoln Center. “The Reckoning” has also screened at the Nantucket Film Festival, Berkshire International Film Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, Movies That Matter Film Festival, among many other international screenings.
