Motivation:
Is there anything less objective than a legal system upheld by the same people who created and benefit from it?
Using genre conventions from thrillers and courtroom dramas, director Faraz Shariat takes us on an emotional journey as we follow a young German prosecutor of Asian descent who becomes an outcast within her own system.
Thoroughly researched, cut with precision, and powered by an astonishing performance by Chen Emilie Yan, Prosecution offers an urgent, fresh perspective on privilege, corruption, and the true meaning of justice.
