The Lubanga Chronicles Project aims to follow the case of former Democratic Republic of Congo rebel commander, Thomas Lubanga, before the International Criminal Court (ICC). This Project seeks to chronicle the case from a legal and a human interest perspective. The Chronicles will examine key legal issues but will also portray the trial participants, looking closely at their personal experiences, feelings and emotions.
It does so through the distribution of:
(a) written chronicles;
(b) short audio clips via local radio stations in DRC
(c) short video clips via internet and other outlets; and
(d) at a later stage, a compilation of the chronicles in book format, or in documentary form.
