At 27, Ben Ferencz, too short to stand at the lectern without elevation, became the youngest Nuremberg prosecutor and secured conviction for all 22 Nazis he tried. 98 years old when this film was made, Ferencz offers detailed accounts of the proceedings and what followed, including a pre-execution encounter with one of the convicted war criminals and shares fascinating back stories from his lifelong struggle for “law not war.” Contains graphic Holocaust images.
