Terror’s Advocate -
a film by Barbet Schroeder
OFFICIAL SELECTION -
Cannes Film Festival
OFFICIAL SELECTION - Toronto International Film Festival
"A brilliant study in the link between moral corruption and narcissism"
- David Edelstein,
NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"One of the most engaging, morally unsettling political thrillers in
quite some time, with the extra advantage of being true"
- A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"It is the gift of Terror's Advocate, Barbet Schroeder's riveting new
documentary, to simply present Vergès as is, to say "here is the
man" and let things speak for themselves. Do they ever."
- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES

Jacques Verges is the kind of lawyer that people love to hate. Over several decades, he's made a career of defending some of the most despised figures of our time - from anti-colonial bombers in Algeria, to left-wing extremists like Carlos the Jackyl, to right-wing dictators like Slobodan Milosevic. At the height of his career he disappeared for an eight year period that no investigator has ever been able to account for. Then he reappeared - refusing to disclose where he had been - and continued where he left off, taking on even more controversial clients. |
