Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood
2012 · 2h 7m · N/A
Drama, History
Directed by
Daniele Vicari
Overview
On July 19–21, 2001, over 200,000 people took to the streets of Genoa to protest against the ongoing G8 summit. Anti-globalization activists clashed with the police, with 23-year-old protester Carlo Giuliani shot dead after confronting a police vehicle. In the aftermath, the police organized a night raid on the Diaz high school, where around a hundred people between unarmed protesters—mostly students—and independent reporters who documented the police brutality during the protests had took shelter. What happened next was called by Amnesty International "the most serious breach of civil liberties in a democratic Western country since World War II."

Stilted dialogue, superficial characters and a threadbare story put up a wall when audiences should be feeling sympathy.
