War Don Don (2010, 93mins, unclassified 18+)
In the heart of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, Issa Sesay awaits his trial for war crimes. Prosecutors say Sesay is guilty of heinous crimes against humanity. His defenders say he is a reluctant fighter who protected civilians and played a crucial role in bringing peace to Sierra Leone. With unprecedented access to prosecutors, defence attorneys, victims and Sesay himself, War Don Don puts international justice on trial for the world to see.
