Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood Diaz

Daniele Vicari / Italy, Romania, France / 2012 / 127 min

The DVD of the film is available in our Bookshop. (List of available DVDs in Slovene only)

A reenactment of the final days of the 2001 G8 Summit, when a group of police officers attacked peaceful activists during the anti-globalisation protests.

During the G8 Summit, young protestors gather at the Diaz Pascoli School in Genoa which has been temporarily set up as a social forum. The young people are in good spirits in spite of the violent street clashes with the police that have occurred during the previous days. Yet nothing can prepare them for what is to happen. Shortly after midnight, the police storm the school and brutally attack these young people, assailing them for two hours until almost all of them end up in hospital. To justify their actions, the police plant Molotov cocktails in the building. Told from different perspectives, the camera describes these tragic events until the whole truth is told about this sad day for Italian democracy.

»In Italy, torture does not exist by law. This means that there are no limits on those who do practice the act of torture because it does not exist as a crime. Torture happens in a country whose literature and culture was one of the first to write against it.« (Daniele Vicari)
