Storm is a 2009 German-Danish-Dutch drama film directed by Hans-Christian Schmid.
Storm follows the developments of a trial at the Hague for war crimes committed during the Bosnian War. Prosecutor Hannah Maynard (Kerry Fox), charges a Bosnian Serb Commander for killing Bosniaks. However, her main witness is found to be lying and later commits suicide. Hannah retraces his steps to try and get to the truth.
Writing for the New York Times, Stephen Holden called Storm "remarkably restrained" and "very well acted."[1]
