P.O.V. | The Reckoning | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2009/reckoning Over 120 countries have united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC) — the first permanent court created to prosecute perpetrators, no matter how powerful, of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.

"The Reckoning" by Pamela Yates, which premieres on PBS Tuesday, July 14, 2009 (check local listings), follows dynamic ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo and his team for three years across four continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system, and charges Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. Like a deft thriller, "The Reckoning" keeps you on the edge of your seat. Will the Prosecutor succeed? Will the world ensure that justice prevails? An Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. PBS airdate: July 14, 2009. Check local listings and more http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2009/reckoning

What language are they speaking?

I know that there is so many different languages out there is such a small region.

Does anyone know what they are speaking?

That's why the US won't support the ICC - people like Reagan, Kissinger, Clinton, & the Bushes wouldn't stand a chance...its good enough for THOSE people, but not OURS!

watched it last night. HIGHLY recommend it.

So, when is Obama going to head to the ICC to face charges for the regular war crimes along the Pakistan/Afghanistan boarder? How about Bush? Clinton? Bush?

[Bluzer86]

ICC is sadly slow and influenced by politics.

this is a really interesting program, really looking forward to watching this, not too often do people get to see what's going on in these parts of the world, more people should take the time to watch this.

Wow! How very sad it was to watch and listen to this. African people have suffered so much throughout history. It's so very unfair what they've gone through. It's such a travesty that it continues to this very day. Man, I believe, is very evil & sadistic at heart. We really aren't much different than our chimpanzee cousins who have been seen to go to war with neighboring chimp groups. We have just gotten more sophisticated in our methods to kill each other off.

people (especially kids today) are ignorant. the world is garbage and were going to destroyer each other....and all other forms of life with this planet. there is no god, no hope, no heaven no forgiveness. only death. and a ruined world left for our children (if they make it) i hate humans. pathetic race you all are.

[Idtelos]

All we need now is to send Bush and his Regime to be sent to this court. Obama is next no doubt. Though, the globalist elite banking cartels are worst than any dictator has been.
