Description
Pesentation "Guilt and Shame in Popular Legal Culture: the German TV Movie "Die Konferenz"
Abstract:
Guilt and shame can be connected in a variety of ways. This is exemplified by the German TV film “Die Konferenz” (2004), which in the tradition of the classic American jury drama “12 Angry Men” (1957) has a conference of teachers deciding on the fate of a young man accused of raping a female student. The memorable plot and excellent acting in “Die Konferenz” further our understanding of the complexities involved in trying to find “truth” and “justice”.
