Arabic version of “The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court”
With the Middle East and North Africa entering an unprecedented phase of political and social transition, with decades old regimes coming to an end, and citizens demanding justice and accountability for crimes committed by their governments and terrorist groups, the International Criminal Court is more relevant than ever to the people of the region. With Jordan currently the only Arab country to have signed the Rome Statute (the treaty that governs the ICC), the Middle East is extremely underrepresented at the ICC. In this context, Skylight Pictures is nearing completion of the Arabic translation of our film, The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court in an effort to build awareness amongst a population of some 300 million native Arabic speakers and contribute to ending impunity in the Arab world.
For 25 years Skylight Pictures has been committed to producing artistic, challenging and socially relevant independent documentary films on issues of human rights and the quest for justice. Through the use of film and digital technologies, we seek to engage, educate and increase understanding of human rights amongst the public at large and policy makers, contributing to informed decisions on issues of social change and the public good.
