I Came to Testify [2], a documentary about women testifying to the use of rape as a tactic of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, is the focus of a White House panel discussion for law students.  Kelly Askin [3] of the Open Society Justice Initiative [4] moderated the panel discussion featuring filmmaker Pamela Hogan [5], Refik Hodzic [6] of the International Center for Transitional Justice [7], American University Washington College of Law professor Diane Orentlicher [8], and Judge Patricia Wald [9], who sat on the ICTY. After the discussion and screening, guests attended a reception where Samantha Power, a Special Assistant to the President, shared her experiences as a young journalist and law student investigating the atrocities in Bosnia.
