An underdog group of lawyers and activists defied the odds to do what had never been done: prosecute rape as an international war crime. In 1997, the young men and women at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda found themselves inexplicably in charge of the first case of genocide in history. Underfunded, understaffed and overwhelmed, they faced incredible hurdles as they pursued their first case against a small-town mayor.

What "The Uncondemned" convincingly demonstrates is the cumulative power of a small group of people with an intense passion for justice, idealists with practical experience whose belief in the power inherent in speaking the truth is not to be denied.

4/5

Along with telling the story of the accomplishment of the prosecutors in this case, the documentary uses its platform as an opportunity to say something bigger about how women are treated today, across the world.

3/4

The legal angle is interesting, if a bit dry, until the filmmakers play their ace: the testimony of three women... Their stories, which they retell with unadorned dignity, turn this otherwise ordinary documentary into something inspiring.
