Documentary following the Iraqi prosecution and Saddam Hussein's defence team. The main goal for both parties is to secure a fair trial but for different reasons. The Iraqi prosecution want to bring their former regime to justice and look upon the case as a symbolic start to the new Iraq whilst the defence is challenging the legality of the trial.

The programme captures the complications that arise from having such a high stake trial take place in a country still tormented by war – when even the safety of those involved is far from guaranteed. Such difficulties challenge the survival of the integrity and independence of the court, which becomes subject to political pressure.
