Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the first prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, has a mandate to investigate war crimes throughout the world. Marcus Vetter’s and Michele Gentile’s docu THE COURT (2013, 87 min) is told from the point of view of the office of the prosecutor. In the style of a courtroom thriller, the directors follow Ocampo during an inordinately complex juridical process which is given a face during the course of the film. And when Angelina Jolie together with 93 year old Ben Ferencz, former prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, are travelling to the final hearing in the trial of the Congolese general, Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, to help persuading the world community that recruiting child soldiers is a crime against humanity, the message is heard by millions of people all around the world.
