E-Team

Sundance Grand Jury-nominated documentary following the Syrian and Libyian missions of the Human Rights Watch's four-member Emergencies Team squad. When atrocities are committed, Human Rights Watch sends in the E-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, the filmmakers 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 Gaddafi. The crimes are rampant, random, and often undocumented, making E-Team’s effort to get information out of the country and into the hands of media outlets and criminal courts all the more necessary."
