Justice : histoires de vie

From minor offences to serious crimes, Belgian courts handle around 400,000 cases each year. Behind each of them are men and women who find themselves thrust into the cold and complex world of justice. Justice, Life Stories follows those for whom justice is not a news topic but an intimate — and often brutal — reality that has imposed itself on their lives. Over the course of four episodes, Justice, Life Stories follows the litigants throughout their cases, alongside those on whom their fate sometimes depends: a criminal lawyer, a youth judge, a justice of the peace, a forensic doctor, a social worker, and a field police officer.
