Diaz
Synopsis

Our take
State violence is brought to damning light in this courageous film of unflinching remembrance. Deploying quick, immersive editing to recreate a bloodied clash between police and protestors, director Daniele Vicari reckons with the tragic wrongs of the recent past in this powerful drama.
