Abstract:	After studying in England, the ambitious lawyer Anuol (thirty years old) returns to his homeland South Sudan. Haunted by his own violent past and committed to fighting against human rights violations, he believes that the law will be his only true guide to bring sustainable peace to the country. When a new civil war breaks out, Anuol is confronted with his countrymen who would rather like to forget their past in order to lay it to rest. His own belief, however, is that those responsible must be held accountable for their actions in order to reconcile with history and move forward into a peaceful future.
