A schoolmaster accused of shocking violence. A boy who’s learnt the power of silence. An unrepentant war criminal. A judge facing the collision of her personal and private lives. These engrossing fictional and real-life tales of resistance, retribution and reckoning ask us to consider the nature of justice and the limits of the law.
