 "The documentary’s thesis intends to prove ‘too much’... it does not seem that it led to any authoritarian turn in our country."

The review calls for balanced judicial scrutiny and better law enforcement preparedness in future protests, emphasizing peaceful dissent and political integration of extremist groups. Explore this in-depth review to understand the complexities behind the 2001 Genoa G8 protests and watch the documentary with a critical eye.
