When atrocities are committed in countries held hostage by ruthless dictators, Human Rights Watch sends in the E-Team (Emergencies Team), a collection of fiercely intelligent individuals hired to document war crimes and report them to the rest of the world. Within this volatile climate, filmmakers Ross Kauffman and Katy Chevigny take us to the frontline in Syria and Libya, where shrapnel, bullet holes, and unmarked graves provide mounting evidence of coordinated attacks conducted by Bashar al-Assad and the now-deceased Muammar Ghaddafi. The crimes are rampant, random, and often undocumented, making E-Team's efforts to get information out of the country and into the hands of media outlets and criminal courts all the more necessary.
Join us after the film for a discussion with Director Ross Kauffman and Human Rights Watch Emergencies Director Peter Bouckaert.
All guests are invited to attend a reception with the panelists following the screening and discussion.
Sponsorship packages are available. For further information, to place order over the phone, or to pay by check, please contact Gayle Baigelman (310-477-5540 | baigelg@hrw.org).
