En 2001, pendant la dernière journée du G8 de Gênes, quelques instants avant minuit, plus de 300 policiers prennent d'assaut l'école Diaz, à la recherche des militants du Black Bloc. Dans l'établissement, se trouvent quatre-vingt-dix activistes, dont la plupart sont des étudiants européens accompagnés de quelques journalistes étrangers, qui s'apprêtent à passer la nuit à même le sol de l'école. Alors que les forces de l'ordre font irruption, les jeunes manifestants lèvent les mains pour se rendre. Imperturbables et implacables, les policiers se livrent à des exactions préméditées d'une violence inouïe, frappant indifféremment jeunes et vieux, hommes et femmes. (Le Pacte)
(plus)Critiques (2)
Violence against (often) innocent people turned into violence against innocent viewers. Vicario filmed an offensive and simple pamphlet which, instead of materiality and the ability to capture the absurdity of the situation, chooses clumsy blackmail, which it excuses through documentary footage. Ordinary exploitation - a film that only plays on the first signal because it has no resources to do more. The worst type of film that turns me from a supporter of an idea into a cynic. P. S. Filmed with the support of BNP Paribas? Oh, the paradoxes of capitalism.

The film seems somewhat straightforward in how it exploits the viewer, but on the other hand, it tries - and I think quite faithfully - to capture what happens when you give people power and tell them they can do whatever they want. They will end up abusing it as well as not getting punished for it. The film isn't great, but the reminder that something like this can happen is important to me.
