The Monopoly of Violence Un pays qui se tient sage

David Dufresne / France / 2020 / 86 min

The violent street demonstrations in Paris during the Yellow Vest protests are at the root of a debate that is highly topical. Its starting point is Max Weber’s famous thesis that a state has the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force. All aspects of this viewpoint are challenged in a refreshingly intelligent film, which confronts a panel of different people with footage from the street riots to discuss them. Protesters, philosophers, sociologists and police officers react to the clips and each other.
