The police, helped by the secret agents, 'discovered' that the robbery had been carried out by a group of high-ranking communists, all holding important posts in government and all, as it happened, Jews. A show-trial followed, and the accused were forced to appear in a filmed 'reconstruction' of the robbery in exchange for promises of reduced sentences. The very same film was then used to provide vital 'evidence' for the prosecution. All but one of the defendants were sentenced to death, and the film was later used at closed party screenings for training purposes. Over forty years later, director Alexandru Solomon reconstructs the reconstruction, incorporating interviews with former prisoners, the cameraman of the infamous film, neighbors and secret police agents. Their accounts show that the propaganda film covered up more than it revealed. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 4 Documentary films 260 Romania : |bLibra Film ; BBC ; France 2, |c2004. 041 roneng |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990547FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_0698_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9145871FL |bFL |d2019-02-21 |l0 |oFL Record 0698 |pHU_OSA_00002422.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-21 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 MombnmXD 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002422 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
