Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a masterpiece of documentary cinema that is all but forgotten today. 'The Memory of Justice' (1976) from Oscar-winning director Marcel Ophuls confronts the subject of wartime atrocities. Set against the backdrop of the Nuremberg trials as well as the Algerian and Vietnam wars, the film raises questions about violence, war, and justice that are as relevant today as they were when it was first made. This compelling, if challenging, film has never had a cinematic release in the UK.
Join us for a special screening at the ICA, introduced by distinguished international lawyer and award-winning author Professor Philippe Sands Hon FBA.
The event commences at 14:00. The screening lasts 278 minutes, and there will be a 20-minute interval halfway through. All are welcome to join for drinks and discussion at the ICA bar after the screening.
