Crime Hunters

52 minutes – 2014

Original Title

Chasseurs de crimes

Synopsis

From their headquarters in Geneva, the lawyers of the Swiss NGO Trial (Track Impunity Always) unremittingly pursue any war criminal careless enough to pass through Swiss territory. These true contemporary crime hunters have in their crosshairs all those with the blood of victims of conflicts on their hands. Theirs is primarily painstaking legal work, but also the emotionally charged fieldwork of collecting shocking testimonies from victims forever haunted by the ghosts of violence past. This film tells the story of their daily struggle against injustice and impunity.
