In the Name of the People

1974

Documentary, Self: Gerd Siekmann, Heinz-Dietrich Stark, Hajo Wandschneider

Documentary In this German film, inmates guilty of a prison murder are put on trial before a court consisting of other inmates. The trial is given the full formal treatment it might receive in a civilian setting. The key point in this film is that these are the actual murderers admitting their actual crimes before a judges' panel consisting of their peers: actual prisoners at the same institution.
