DESCRIPTION:Justice \nMaria Ramos (Netherlands, 2004)   Introduced by Nancy 
 Scheper-Hughes   Nancy Scheper-Hughes is a professor of medical 
 anthropology at UC Berkeley, where she directs the doctoral program in 
 critical studies in medicine, science, and the body.   (Justiça). The 
 corridors of power—in this case, a Brazilian criminal court—are 
 illuminated in Maria Ramos\'s fly-on-the-wall portrait of the judged and 
 the judging. A man caught with a stolen car, alleged thieves, and part-time 
 druggies all pass through the courts, their bewildered yet all-too-human 
 behavior forming a dramatic counterpoint to the rigid judiciary that 
 surrounds and eventually sentences them. Ramos\'s static camera exposes the 
 oppressive firmness of the world these “criminals” are passing through, 
 a realm where discourse is open and understood only by a certain few, and 
 where even the rooms themselves impose a certain inescapable order. Using 
 an observational aesthetic akin to the work of Frederick Wiseman, Justice 
 never blinks as it uncovers the frustrations of people unable to comprehend 
 (much less communicate with) those who hold the keys to their future.
