獅子山共和國首都自由城的市中心，內戰時擔任革命陣線聯盟指揮官的以薩塞薩伊在等候審判。特別法庭以戰犯罪名起訴他，為他辯護的律師則辯稱他是保衛人民的戰士。獅子山共和國終於享有和平，卻仍是世界上最貧窮的國家之一。戰爭雖然結束了，戰爭造成的創傷卻久久不能平復。這場深受矚目的審判，果真能夠辨明傷痛過往的真相？ 
 
In the heart of Freetown, inside the “special court”, Issa Sesay awaits his trial. Is he a war criminal, guilty of heinous crimes against humanity, or a reluctant fighter who played a crucial role in bringing peace to Sierra Leone? This film puts international justice on trial for the world to see-finding that in some cases the past is not just painful, it is also opaque.
