As the popular event at the State Cinema is booked out, the Society is pleased to invite you to get along for a discussion of Nuremberg (2025). It is highly recommended (although not obligatory!) that prior to attending this discussion you have seen the acclaimed film starring Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, Leo Woodall and Michael Shannon as the discussions will likely feel much more relevant.
Tim McCormack and Julia Flint will unpack the real-world legal and ethical issues behind the events of the film. They will explore the legacy of the Nuremberg Trials, the evolution of International Humanitarian Law, and the continuing relevance of these principles in contemporary conflicts and war crimes investigations.
About the film - now available on Stan and other streaming sites
The film is an impactful historical drama that examines the landmark trials held in the aftermath of World War II. Nuremberg explores the legal, moral and political challenges faced by those seeking to hold senior Nazi leaders accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the profound impact those trials had on the development of modern international law.
