Production FilmacoZ – 2004
One after the other, soldiers are beating a war prisoner up while their chief is looking on. Everything stops when one of them refuses to go on, giving a pain in his feet as an excuse. The movie is inspired by images displayed in spring 2004 about abuses on war prisoners in Abou Ghraib in Iraq. The shooting took place on 09/25/2004 in Paris with a Sony VX 2000 camera (and a Super 8…).
