The Bureau Sales has launched sales on documentary “The Monopoly of Violence,” David Dufresne’s timely examination of police violence. The film was selected recently by Cannes’ parallel section Directors’ Fortnight.
Filmcoopi has picked up rights to the film in Switzerland, and O Brother has acquired rights for Benelux. Jour De Fête will release the film in France at the end of September.
In the film, Dufresne looks at how “as anger and resentment grow in the face of social inequalities, many citizen-led protests are being repressed with an ever-increasing violence,” according to a statement. The film “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.”
Dufresne said: “All countries around the world are faced with police violence. For democracies, it has become a crucial concern for their own survival.”
