The Monopoly of Violence

A confrontational documentary that examines state violence and social repression through citizen testimony and debate, grounded in urgent political questions about power and legitimacy.

As anger and resentment grow in the face of social inequalities, many citizens-led protests are being repressed with an ever-increasing violence. In this documentary, David Dufresne gathers a panel of citizens to question, exchange and confront their views on the social order and the legitimacy of the use of force by the State.
