Tokyo Trial (2016)

Staged almost entirely within hotel suites and smoke-filled deliberation chambers, this four-part drama explores the international tribunal tasked with prosecuting Japanese leadership after the Second World War. Eleven allied judges must navigate deep geopolitical divides, clashing over treaty interpretations, imperial immunity, and victor's justice while Cold War alliances rapidly shift. The production demonstrates how modern international law was painfully hammered out through backroom compromise, procedural stubbornness, and delicate consensus.
