War Don Don tells the story of the sensational trial of Issa Sesay, a senior commander of the rebel Revolutionary United Front, with unprecedented access to the various actors at the Special Court for Sierra Leone. We hear from prosecutors, defence attorneys, victims, perpetrators and Issa Sesay himself in the retelling of a case that illustrates the complexities of achieving justice and addressing a nation’s past.
