When a priest is tried for genocide in Rwanda, the challenges of finding the truth in cases of crimes against humanity are exposed in forensic detail.

Priest Hormisdas Nsengimana stands trial for genocide and crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania.

During the 1994 genocide, Hormisdas was working as a priest and rector of a Catholic secondary school. He was allegedly affiliated to a group of Hutu extremists that carried out attacks on Tutsis and is accused of direct and indirect involvement in the killings.

Fifteen years later, a Norwegian judge has to base his verdict on oral testimonies that plead both in favour of and against the priest. How will he interpret the different versions of the truth?
