Genoa Red Zone (2002)
Indymedia UK presents 'Genoa: Red Zone' - a hard-hitting film which presents the real story of those brutal Italian days of protest. Eight months in the making with a cast of thousands, this hour-long documentary does not shy from the truth. Staggering images of violence provide gritty realism yet the beauty of resistance shines through. Despite the repression, a multitude of voices were heard in Genoa: Landless Peruvian peasants stood side by side with Sicilian cheese farmers; national boundaries were overturned as a global body of people demanded a world built on social and environmental equality. That flame - it appears - is impossible to extinguish.
