The documentary, produced by the General Student Committee of Freie Universität Berlin, documents the brutal police crackdowns on anti-Shah demonstrators, preserves evidence, interviews eyewitnesses, and confronts thugs with film and photographic evidence. Thomas Giefer and Hans-Rüdiger Minow interpret the police assaults as “the first attempts to implement the state of emergency against an extra-parliamentary opposition seeking to prevent it.” The film aims to create a counter-public sphere and calls on viewers to stop the anti-democratic forces and resist.
