The very structure of every government allows folks with poorly- developed consciences to dictate or control the entire matrix of social relationships, as far as the law is concerned. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are, because the mingling of most human lawyers with the rare human passion for civil liberties can lead to either a disgusting or a delicious result in a movie. So what is a filmmaker, an attorney, or a sex-worker to do if they want to get laws changed, captives freed, and oppression stopped?
Anyone (including attorneys) getting involved (as hopeful saviors) amid corruption can be dangerous. And attorneys don't represent an impartial legal structure; they use the law and courts to try to redress grievances when moral sanity has been broken, when kindness and compassion have been shattered by horrifying crimes against humanity. Such crimes are worthy subjects in many films, whether fictional accounts based in the truth of wars, or more straight- forward documentaries, because people need to hear from journalists and other storytellers. This is one of those stories--a very important slice of life and death in a specific nation.
