Fatmata Episode 5: The Trial

In the fifth episode of FATMATA, we finally take policeman Igor Markov to trial.

We travel to the criminal court of Skopje - North Macedonia's capital, to join Abu, his lawyer, and members of the Second Tree team for the final hearing of this unprecedented case. For the first time since Fatmata was killed, Abu comes face to face with the policeman who shot her. After thirteen hearings spanning nine months, the trial comes to an end, and Abu is given one final opportunity to address the court.

In this episode we hear about the long road to court, the evidence presented throughout the trial, and the extraordinary challenges of seeking justice across borders... but before the verdict is delivered, one question remains: what does justice look like for those too often left unprotected by the law?
