Did two Rwandans order the carrying out of a massacre from Germany via text message? Judges in Stuttgart were exasperated by this precedential case because the truth about a war taking place 6000 kilometers away can’t be determined in the courtroom. Flinn Works examines the borders of global jurisdiction using the means of documentary musical theater. They create a fragmented echo of the evidence hearing using string instruments and court documents.
