IN FLOW OF WORDS

In Flow of Words follows the narratives of three interpreters of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. They interpreted shocking testimonies from witnesses, victims, and perpetrators, without ever allowing their own emotions, feelings, and personal histories to be present. Contrary to their position at the tribunal, this film places their voices and
experiences center stage.
