Storm, from director Hans-Christian Schmid (Requiem) is a political thriller inspired by the Serbian War crimes trials. Kerry Fox stars as Hannah Maynard, a prosecutor at the Tribunal in The Hague who manages to convince a young Bosnian to testify against an alleged war criminal. As diplomatic interests collide and threats escalate, Hannah faces the trial of her life, torn between her strong beliefs in the system and her loyalty towards the witness. Supported by an excellent cast, including Anamaria Marinca of the Palme d’Or-winning 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days and BAFTA-winner Stephen Dillane, Storm is a gripping film about personal and political integrity.
