Terror's Advocate

Would you stand up to defend Gestapo thug Klaus Barbie in a court of law? Could you─or would you─mount a legal defense on behalf of Carlos the Jackal, or Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy? French attorney Jacques Vergès took on those morally challenging crusades, and others, serving as counsel to some of history's most notorious defendants. Director Barbet Schroeder's stunning documentary examines Vergès' life and work. 137 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; deleted scenes; interviews. In French with English subtitles.
