Saving Saddam

Esteban Uyarra, Denmark, 2008

51 min.DK/Documentary

Canadian Bill Wiley came to Iraq to ensure that Saddam Hussein gets a fair trial. But how fair will he manage to make the trial? As the judge walks out, defence lawyers are murdered, and the trial becomes ever more bizarre. Will Bill manage to change Iraq's notion of right and wrong, or will Iraq change Bill's belief in law? Bill is working in Iraq for the UN, observing the trial, but he is soon appointed by the American government to advise Saddam Hussein's defence. The trial cannot be seen to be fair without a proper defence. This is Bill's most difficult assignment yet. He will help Saddam's defence team whether they want it or not.
