A movie about the December 1989 Revolution in Romania. It contains some archival footage and also interviews with the members of the first post-communist Romanian government. Despite its stress on some of the unanswered questions of this event, the documentary unfortunately plays upon the official story offered by the people who took advantage of the difficult times to come into power. Because of the sources it uses, the film merely reproduces the version proposed by the actors of the events described. The movie has a fllow-up debate, hosted by Jean-Luc Hees, between a former French ambassador in Romania, Jean-Marie Le Breton, and one of the first people to produce a book on the 1989 revolution, Radu Portocala. The content of the conversation is dominated by issues such as the tyrannic nature of the regime, the trial of communism, or the nature of the Romanian post-communist regime. The main idea purported by both the host and his invitees is that the manner in which the trial of Ceausescu was done and in which the new regime came into power raise serious questions related to the democratic intentions of the actors of these processes. |
