_____________________________________________________________Summary__



"I consider this tribunal false tribunal, and these indictments false

indictments. It is illegal." - Former Serbian president Slobodan

Milosevic.



And so begins Milosevic on Trial. The doco spans four years, from

2002 - 2006, during which time Slobodan Milosevic was tried at the

International Criminal Tribunal for genocide, war crimes and crimes

against humanity.



During this period the filmmakers had exclusive access to key

players: Milosevic's legal adviser Dragoslav Ognjanovic ("To be the

lawyer of a man like him, it is a great honor.") and prosecution

attorney Geoffrey Nice ("This trial is about the accused's rise to

power - power that was exercised without accountability,

responsibility or morality.")



It was the prosecution's job to prove that Slobodan Milosevic had

a hand in the deaths of 250,000 people across three wars in

Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. In the end, the charges were never

proven because Slobodan Milosevic died in custody of a heart attack.



As this intricate and detailed film shows, trying to prove the

charges was a mammoth task for the prosecution, given the

relatively short period of time allowed for the trial.



The film also grants viewers a fascinating insight into the mind

of Milosevic, a man determined to defend himself by attacking the

legitimacy of the court, claim that foreign powers were behind

the wars and use the media to his advantage.



It is a confronting film, one that compels you to listen in horror

to heart-wrenching testimony from massacre survivors and then see

the human side of Slobodan Milosevic: a devoted grandfather, a

kindly father figure to his lawyer and an elderly man whose health

ultimately doesn't stand up to the stress of the trial.



Milosevic on Trial is international justice in action with all its

successes, failings, twists and turns laid bare for the viewer. It

is gruesomely humorous in parts, as the accused and his witnesses

continually rant at the judges, and ultimately it raises the

question whether courts such as the International Criminal Tribunal

can ever truly achieve what they set out to do?
