The trial of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo is the first ever trial before the International Criminal Court, and marks a fundamental step in the fight against impunity. The trial is ongoing, and is yet to reach a verdict. This short film, produced by the Open Society Justice Initiative and WITNESS, highlights both the discussion between the Prosecution and the Lubanga Defense Counsel in the court room, and more widely with the victims (child soldiers) and the Public Counsel for Victims' views about the proceedings and the expectations of the DRC communities. The video also highlights the issue of fair trial and balances the opening arguments both from the prosecution and the defense in the trial.
