Diaz - Don't Clean up this Blood (Daniele Vicari, 2012) - A film inspired by the events that took place in Genoa during the G8 in 2001, when 300 police officers and 70 special agents raided the Diaz school looking for demonstrators.
Inside the school were 90 activists, mostly students from around Europe along with a handful of foreign reporters. As the police burst in, the young demonstrators raised their hands in surrender. Undeterred and unmoved, the police unleashed a calculated frenzy of violence.
