The General's Ghost
The film begins with vengeance: U.S. General Douglas MacArthur's 1945 military trial of Japan's General Tomoyuki Yamashita for horrific atrocities in the Philippines. Despite the lack of any evidence that Yamashita ordered or even knew about the atrocities, he was condemned to death, raising the question: Are commanders responsible for crimes their troops commit? International justice laws result from war crimes by Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan.

In Our Time
In the third and final hour, we see both the revitalization of postwar justice over two decades and its limitations in confronting the exponential rise in civilian atrocities—sexual violence and genocide—occurring in the Balkans, Rwanda, Congo, Syria, Sri Lanka, and other countries.
