The Blockade is a unique view from within of the longest, most massive, and politically most significant student protest in Croatia since 1971, which started in April 2009 at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. The struggle against the commercialization of education and the blockading of classes lasted for 34 days. The rebellion spread onto more than 20 faculties across the country and the students became an active and relevant political subject. The director followed everything: from the exhilarating preparatory meetings and picketing of classrooms to the first signs of exhaustion, from the initial support of most faculty members to the moment they turned their backs on the movement and the attempt to reach the missing minister of education. This film shows that the blockade was not just about physical barriers and that it has a much broader meaning. |
