This year's Human Rights Watch International Film Festival includes a documentary focusing on the group's lead attorney and a former political prisoner from Chad. They worked together, and without government support, to bring Chad's former dictator to trial. It's a suspenseful tale spanning several years and three continents. Carolyn Weaver reports.
