Tokyo Trial on Netflix

Watched 'Tokyo Trial' on Netflix, about the trial of the Japanese after WWII. Very well presented, combining archival footage of the trail, along with a dramatization of what happened behind the scenes. 

I would've liked more focus and elaboration on the sole dissenting opinion of the Indian judge, Binod Pal, (played by Irrfan Khan, a small role) not only because he was Indian, but also because he is the foil for the other characters (the story could've been narrated by him) resulting in various deliberations, before the hypocrisy of Western Powers is exposed.
