Synopsis

In the aftermath of a tragic fire in a Romanian club, burn victims begin dying in hospitals from wounds that were not life threatening. A team of investigative journalists move into action uncovering the mass corruption of the health system and of the state institutions.

Our take

Following a fatal nightclub fire, Alexander Nanau tracked the furious efforts of journalists and demonstrators to destabilize the malfeasant, incompetent Romanian authorities. Kindred in political spirit to Laura Poitras, this tense and revelatory documentary was nominated for two Academy Awards®.
