It was great to see a movie at the Moviemov Italian Film Festival in Greenbelt. I watched the controversial, award-winning and emotionally compelling Italian-Romanian-French movie DIAZ – DON’T CLEAN UP THIS BLOOD directed by Daniele Vicari.
The film is based on a true incident and focuses on the storming of the Diaz school in Genoa by the police after the 2001 G8 summit. In that building were young protesters against the international summit who were brutally attacked by the Italian police.
It is based on the testimonies and reports from judicial processes.
Amnesty International refers to these events as: “The most serious suspension of democratic rights in a Western country since the Second World War.”
