Kevin Reynolds was awarded his PhD in 2012. A partnership with the University of Sussex, the project focused on ‘That Justice be Seen’: the American Prosecution’s Use of Film at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal. His dissertation examines the use of motion-picture film by the American Prosecution before and during the "Trial of the Major War Criminals" at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (IMT) in Germany, 1945-1946. The research is based on never before used material including newly discovered film, official papers, and private letters. The focus of the research is on three crucial themes: the political, juridical and moral concerns of the American planners and prosecutors.
