In 2013 , she began filming '' The Uncondemned '' with co-director Nick Louvel , a documentary about the first time rape was prosecuted as a war crime during the Rwanda genocide . On September 24 , 2015 , just a month before '' The Uncondemned '' was set to be screened at the Hamptons International Film Festival , co-director Louvel was killed in a single-car accident hours after hand-delivering the film to the festival . In June 2016 , the final cut of the film made its debut at the New York Human Rights Watch Film Festival . The following October , the documentary was selected by the Hamptons International Film Festival to make its world premiere . Here , it was aired in front of 700 people at the United Nations , hosted by the UN Special Representative for Rape in Conflict Zainab Bangura . It was named the Brizzolara Family Foundation Award Winner for a Film in Conflict & Resolution . The film also won the Rabinowitz & Grant Award for Social Justice . '' The Uncondemned '' would receive universal critical acclaim , 100 % on Rotten Tomatoes , with reviewers praising it as " a master class in demonstrating how people can change the world , " " a courtroom thriller crackling with suspense , " and " most extraordinary are interviews with the women who came forward to provide evidence in court . Their integrity and tenacity , and their loyalty to one another , are enough to bring you to tears . " As Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote : “ It 's the story of how history is made in small , at times uncertain , steps , but it is something more as well . For what " The Uncondemned " convincingly demonstrates is the cumulative power of a small group of people with an intense passion for justice , idealists with practical experience whose belief in the power inherent in speaking the truth is not to be denied . ” The film had a 30-city US theatrical release through Abramorama and then screened in twenty-two countries . It has been translated into French , Arabic and Haitian Creole
