When Saddam Hussein’s family searched the world for the best lawyers prepared to defend the Iraqi dictator, they were told to hire a brilliant young lawyer from Derry. Desmond Doherty didn’t tell his family or friends about his infamous client but went about his world with the type of tenacity and attention to detail that has built him a worldwide reputation. In this documentary, he speaks for the first time about defending a despot and some of the other cases he’s involved in, including Bloody Sunday and the Omagh bomb.
