The feature film showing at the Nelson Co. Public Library on Tuesday, September 21st at 6 pm will be the German film, Storm directed by Hans-Christian Schmid.  This film was a winner of the Best Narrative Feature at the Flyway Film Festival and the Winner of the Amnesty International Film Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival. 

The film tells the story of Hannah Maynard, prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague who is leading a trial against a former commander of the Yugoslavian National Army who is accused of the deportation and later killing of dozens of Bosnian-Muslim civilians.  When a key witness commits suicide, it looks like the case will unravel, but Hannah refuses to give in.  Hoping to uncover new findings, she travels to the witness’ burial in Sarajevo and meets his sister Mira, who she senses has much more to say than she is willing to admit.  Despite threats of violence, Mira reluctantly agrees to testify at The Hague.  She and Hannah must both risk life and limb to make it to the court, only to discover that there are traitors among their own ranks.

The film is in English, German Bosnian and Serbian with English subtitles.  The movie is not subject to rating by the MPAA and is not recommended for ages under 17 without parental permission.  Be sure to view this 103 minute long movie at the library on September 21st at 6pm.
