Synopsis
How do you make a film about genocide? With penetrating interviews and stunning animation, we are witness to four uplifting stories of courage and compassion. Inspired by the Pulitzer Prize–winning book A Problem fromHell by Samantha Power, Watchers of the Sky interweaves the stories of four visionary humanitarians with that of unknown hero and human rights lawyer Raphael Lemkin. Shining a light into traditionally inaccessible places, Watchers of the Sky takes us on a remarkable journey from Nuremberg to The Hague, from Bosnia to Darfur, from criminality to justice, and from apathy to action.
