Beyond Right & Wrong presents the stories of people who have experienced loss and the stories of people who have caused that loss. From the Rwandan Genocide to the Troubles in Northern Ireland to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, people from different sides of the violence have shared their stories in this film —their anger or remorse, their pain, their paths to recovery.
The film looks at how societies recover from devastating conflict and how victims and perpetrators live alongside eachother after the armed conflict has ended. It looks at how communities can work together to rebuild their lives and explores the tensions between justice and forgiveness.
