Watch: Diaz – Don’t Clean Up This Blood 2012 123movies, Full Movie Online – July 2001. 200,000 protesters, consisting mainly of anti-globalization activists and anarchists of the Black Bloc) try to prevent the G8 summit from taking place in Genoa. The authorities, determined not to let them achieve their aim, give a free hand to the anti-riot police in the matter of repression. The Police superintendent decides a nighttime raid upon the Diaz school, used as a sleeping quarter and a center for those providing media, medical, and legal support work. The film tells about the ordeal put through by all those who slept or worked there, courtesy of the barbarous Police forces, complete with furious baton attacks and shameless humiliation following arrests..
Plot: In July 2001, over 200,000 people took to the streets of Genoa to protest against the ongoing G8 summit. Anti-globalization activists clashed with the police, with 23-year-old protester Carlo Giuliani shot dead after confronting a police vehicle that would later run him over twice. In the aftermath, the police organized a night raid on the Diaz high school, where around 100 unarmed people between protesters, mostly students, activist lawyers, and independent journalists who documented the police brutality during the protests had took shelter. What happened next would be called by Amnesty International “the most serious breach of democratic rights in a Western country since World War II.”

I never cried in a film before
Seriously. I walked out of it somewhat disorientated and still shaken. I saw ‘Diaz – Don’t clean up this Blood’ about a month ago at its Berlinale Screening and it still haunts me. I could tell that most of the audience shared my feelings and some even left the cinema, because they couldn’t bear what they were seeing. Nevertheless the applause was extraordinary.We have all seen our fair share of violence and cruelty in the movies. But this is a completely different pair of shoes. The non-fictional background of the film plot concerns me personally, both as a human being and as an European citizen. It’s hard to imagine this happened ten years ago in a Western European country and yet it DID happen and it could – and probably will – happen again. That’s why it is so important to deal with the topic of police violence instead of ignoring it or playing it down. The film crew and cast did a great job capturing the horror of this disastrous event. And that’s what ‘Diaz’ mainly seems to be about: re-creating and contextualizing the occurred violations of human rights in 2001 in Italy as authentic and accurate as it can be done in a feature film.
It obviously wants you to be shocked, but with good reasons: it describes shocking incidents, which should not be trivialized. If you do some research, you’ll find out that the film indeed does not exaggerate anything. But it does NOT inform you about the political background, you have to inform yourself. And I think you will, after you’ve seen it.
‘Diaz’ is not entirely flawless, but it could be a film of great significance, provided that it motivates the audience to read up on the subject.
If you’re interested in a less gripping, but much more informative approach on the matter, check out the documentary “The Summit” (2012).
Well made movie, but heavy to watch
When you ever wished you had participated in a happy leftie mass event – watch that movie. The camera gave me the whole time the feeling of being part of the crowd on the screen, just there in the school building, between all the funny people – the guy who plays flamenco guitar, some Manu Chao song, the pop-up band, people just dancing – all of them who want to make the world a better place. A lot of languages are used all over the movie, people act like like real people do, it’s just fine. This is the first part. Everything afterward, as we know, is of extreme brutality, and I was happy that I had never been part in that leftie mass event. I really liked the movie how it was make, technically. It’s only a pity that a lot of answers are not given. It would have been helpful to work out more of the backgrounds. The extreme force of the police, where did it come from? There must have been a lot of hate and fear a long time in advance. We don’t get to know much about the really violent left wing and how far the police was able or willing to make a difference between them and the average wild-haired, guitar-playing and further peaceful demonstrators. So, I missed some different points of view besides just the picture of peaceful lefties. But when you realize that everything really has happened like this, the the world is maybe less subtle some times. And that makes me shiver.
