This is a GVSU showing of the film The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court. Here's a description from their GR Now ad - More than 120 countries have united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC) — the first permanent court created to prosecute the perpetrators, no matter how powerful, of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. “The Reckoning” follows dynamic ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for three years across four continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord’s Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system and charges Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. “The Reckoning” is like a deft thriller: Will the prosecutor succeed? Will the world ensure that justice prevails? An Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. By Peter Kinoy and Pamela Yates.
There will be a panel discussion afterward. This is a FREE event! It starts at 7pm.
