A civil servant attends a G8 summit in Reykjavik, Iceland, where he meets a young woman in a café. Despite their age difference and the political tensions surrounding them, a romance begins to blossom.
Black Block is a documentary that explores the violent protests and clashes between the police and protesters during the G-8 summit in Genoa, Italy. The film depicts the rebellion and revolt of the crowd, highlighting the intense violence and chaos that unfolded during the riot.
The film recounts Carlo Giuliani’s day of July 20 and, parallel to it, the July 20 of the march of the ‘disobedients’, or the ‘white overalls’, among whose ranks Carlo died. An individual’s story is told in all its absolute concreteness, the friends he meets, the snack bar he goes to for a bite, the roll of scotch tape he picks up on the street; whereas a multitude’s story is told in all its epic tragedy, the night under the rain, the colossal preparation against the march, the advance behind shields, the attack of which the multitude was victim, the defense that gets organized.
