Crimes Against Humanity: The Search for Justice - Justice Pursued on AllMovie

Mankind's tolerance for brutality on massive scales seems to go on unabated. In response to these ongoing acts of terrorism and persecution, this three-part series, Crimes Against Humanity: The Search for Justice, examines these unbelievable acts while exploring the ongoing attempts to bring the perpetrators to justice. In Crimes Against Humanity: The Search for Justice -- Justice Pursued, the tragic stories of Rwanda, Argentina, East Germany, and Bosnia are explored. The viewer watches as the quest for justice moves excruciatingly more slowly than the short amount of time it took the criminals to commit their horrific acts. The documentary follows Rwanda's new Minister of Justice, Gerald Gahima, as he seeks advice from a former Nazi hunter from Israel on techniques for rooting out the architects of these unspeakable crimes. Newly recovered training tapes for the East German Stasi record the strategy of brutal repression practiced there. The program follows the slow search for justice in Bosnia, where a term from the darkest period of inhumanity -- Hitler's reign -- was revived with the practice of "ethnic cleansing" of the ethnic Albanian Serbs. Finally, a young Argentinean survivor who witnessed many killings during that country's reign of terror recounts his story.
