Z
Repression could be the principle of the afternoon in this picture that skewers government of the 1960s. Z, a rabblerouser, is murdered in what seems to be a traffic collision. However, given the political climate, such a prominent activist's death raises questions. Though it's too late to save Z's lifetime, a postmortem examination suggests that the ruling party was supporting his death. As the truth leak out, people that tell the facts cover the price for their own honesty.
