On 6 August 1992, British journalists from ITN and the Guardian unveiled to the world the existence of camps for non-Serb civilians in the area of Prijedor in north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina. Shocking images of emaciated inmates circled the planet in just a few days and shook the conscience of humanity. Barely two months later, a process was set in motion which would change the face of international criminal justice forever. Through interviews, investigative news footage and courtroom testimonies, Crimes before the ICTY: Prijedor depicts the discovery of the camps and the subsequent process that led to the establishment of the first international criminal Tribunal since WWII, as well as the judicial outcome of the crimes committed in this Bosnian town. In English, French, German and Serbo-Croatian with subtitles in English.

In early 1992, several months after ethnic tensions had burst into terrible conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, tensions reached a boiling point in Višegrad. Muslims began to be systematically attacked, tortured or killed resulting in a massive population shift that meant the near eradication of the Muslim population in the area. The investigations into these crimes led to the prosecution of direct perpetrators. Through first-hand witness testimonies, Trial and Appeals Chambers judgements and interviews with the protagonists, Crimes before the ICTY: Višegrad tells the gripping story of the judicial response to the tide of ethnic cleansing that swept the municipality.

O.J.: Made in America is an essential examination of the rise and fall of Orenthal James Simpson, and the parallels between his incredible story and that of race in America. This critically-acclaimed documentary series reveals how he first became a football star, why America fell in love with him off the field, what happened in the trial for the Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman murders, and finally, why he is now sitting in jail for another crime 20 years later. His is a story that divided America like few things before or since, and it is perhaps the defining cultural tale of twentieth-century America. Originally debuted on television in June 2016.
Director: Ezra Edelman

The documentary, Scenes of a Crime, produced and directed by Blue Hadaegh and Grover Babcock, examines the interrogation of a young African American father from Troy, New York – Adrian Thomas – whom police suspect of battering his 4-month-old son to death. Doctors treating the brain-dead infant misdiagnosed a skull fracture, and contacted law enforcement about “shaken baby” abuse. The story is told from all sides of the case: detectives, prosecutors, defense attorneys, jurors, witnesses and the accused himself. Prof. Richard Ofshe, a pioneer in the study of police interrogation, analyzed video-recordings of the interrogation for the defense, and presents a detailed analysis in the film. In 2009, Thomas was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years to life. On June 12 2014, Thomas was acquitted of killing his infant son after the New York State Court of Appeals ordered a new trial for him, citing among other reasons “highly coercive” techniques used by police during his interrogation.
