Important and worth considering

In this film Swedish filmmakers Stefan Jarl and Lukas Moodysson let some of the kids that were convicted after the riots in Gothenburg in June 2001 tell their side of the story. Through in depth interviews these convicted youngsters give their view on globalisation and capitalism. For the first time after the riots those who were convicted gets the chance to tell why they feel that another world is possible and that they feel that everyone can do something about it. These youngsters are not terrorists, they are just people who is convinced that the world can be a better place to live in. That's why they took matters into their own hands. Jarl and Moodysson's film is important and give new light on the riots in Gothenburg as well as the issues concerning globalisation. I don't feel that the film should treat these issues objective. Objectivity is impossible, just look at the daily flow of news.
