RESOLUTION 978 HD – Model Court (Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Sidsel Meineche Hansen, Lorenzo Pezzani & Oliver Rees)
The film is focusing on the recently concluded trial of François Bazaramba, a Rwandan citizen who sought asylum in Finland in 2003, where he was convicted nine years later for his role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. In a bizarre geographical inversion, the Finnish trial took place from 2009 to 2010 in improvised courts in Rwanda and Tanzania, with the legal proceedings transmitted to and from Bazaramba’s Helsinki prison cell via Skype and other videoconferencing technologies.
