Original Title:

Diaz: Don’t Clean Up This Blood

On July 21, 2001, Italian police stormed a pop-up protester HQ at the G8 summit. Based on witness testimonies, this dramatisation makes a big deal of its veracity. Thin roles dilute the impact, but Diaz is truly (and necessarily) shocking.

A compelling dramatisation. If the key characterisation occasionally errs on the thin side, there impact of this piece of agit-drama is still stunning.
