Midwest premiere

In response to the increasingly violent repression of citizen-led protests denouncing social injustices and inequalities, this documentary invites citizens from all walks of life to exchange views together and interrogate society’s rule of law and the legitimacy of the use of force by the State.

Presented as part of the Albertine Cinémathèque program & Co-sponsored by the Alliance française de Milwaukee & the Institute of World Affairs
