Watchers of the Sky

Asking why the killing of a million was a lesser crime than the killing of an individual, Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide and changed the course of history. This Sundance award-winning documentary both examines the work of the Polish-Jewish lawyer and linguist who set the stage for the creation of the International Criminal Court and tells the story of four individuals working today to keep his legacy alive.
