Check out the compelling trailer for JUDGEMENT IN HUNGARY:

Filmmaker Eszter Hajdú spent three years following the trial of four men charged with killing Roma children and adults, motivated by “racial hatred.” Hajdú and her crew documented the 167 days of hearings in this intense, award-winning  drama set in a small court room in Hungary.

The recipient of 19 international awards, JUDGEMENT IN HUNGARY has been broadcast in Switzerland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Canada, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia- Hercegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Republic of Serbia and Poland.
