United Nations Young Professionals Tasmania presents a screening of the award winning documentary "The Uncondemned".The film tells the gripping and world-changing story of a group of young international lawyers and activists who fought to make rape a crime of war, and the Rwandan women who came forward to testify and win justice where there had been none. Up until this point, rape had not been prosecuted as a war crime and was committed with impunity. A courtroom thriller and personal human drama, "The Uncondemned" beautifully interweaves the stories of the characters in this odyssey, leading to the trial at the international criminal court - and the results that changed the world of criminal justice forever. Tickets prices - $20 (includes drinks and snacks) Pre sale and tickets on door available www.theuncondemned.com All tickets go directly to support the production companies impact campaign. More information available on the night. For more information: UNAA Young Professional's Lead lizzie.drew@unaa.org.au
