Description
In this imposing thriller, we step outside the German courtroom as public prosecutor Seyo takes matters into her own hands to seek justice. When she becomes the target of far-right violence and racism, she decides to take on her own case. Despite all warnings and risks, she stops at nothing to hold her attackers accountable. Along the way, Seyo discovers it’s not only her attackers she needs to face head-on, but a legal system that is failing her too. As the audience award winner at the Berlinale, Prosecution proves to be a film of our time that will capture more than just fans of courtroom thrillers!
