Film #2 : I Came To Testify

I Came to Testify illuminates the momentous courage of Bosnia's female was survivors - systematically gang-raped, tortured and imprisoned by Serb-led forces - in testifying to the world. They paved the way for a precedent-setting verdict: the prosecution of rape and sexual enslavement as a crime against humanity.
