Introduction by Greg Wurzer, Law Librarian.

Prosecutor is a documentary that follows the Chief Prosecutor through the first trials of the newly formed International Criminal Court (ICC). Luis Moreno-Ocampo investigates and prosecutes some of the world's worst criminals for some of the world's worst crimes. He's a hero to genocide survivors, but has bitter enemies on both the Right and the Left. Is the ICC a groundbreaking new weapon for global justice or just an idealistic dream? (95 min.)

The feature film is preceded by "Uncommon Hero" (4.08 min.), a short film that pays tribute to Paul Thompson, a man who has created a uniquely Canadian theatrical tradition through his passion, vision and tireless innovation.
