I Came to Testify is the moving story of how a group of 16 women who had been imprisoned and raped by Serb-led forces in the Bosnian town of Foca broke history’s great silence – and stepped forward to take the witness stand in an international court of law. Their remarkable courage resulted in a triumphant verdict that led to new international laws about sexual violence in war.
The documentary film is one of five segments of Women, War & Peace. The 2011 PBS mini-series is most comprehensive global media initiative ever mounted on the roles of women in peace and conflict.
Produced and written by Pamela Hogan. Narrated by Matt Damon.
Co-produced by THIRTEEN and Fork Films in association with WNET and ITVS.
Original release date: October 11, 2011
