During protests in London in 2011, a young man was caught on picture stealing from an injured activist. The man is identified as Esau Essadi Green and the action precipitates an online storm of threats and hate against him. Lode Kuylenstierna's film is many-sided—just as much a Paul Auster-like detective story as a low-key commentary on digital society, which creates victims and perpetrators instantly—there's no time to critique sources. The title refers to a kind of person without rights in the Roman Empire. These people were accused of crimes, but not allowed to be sacrificed to the gods yet they could be killed without legal consequence. Today's quick, superficial media seems to have taken over the role as judge and jury from the Romans. (Göteborg Film Festival)
