Part of The Big Conversation on Fighting Fascism w/ Goethe Institut Brussels

The state charged 4 men with committing these racially motivated crimes. Their historical trial started in March, 2011 and ended in August, 2013 in Budapest. The 167 days of hearings were continuously documented by Eszter Hajdu‘s crew. They had exclusive permission to use multiple cameras in the courtroom.
