I lived in Bucharest while the events from the documentary were developing. I felt the collective sorrow of loosing young, beautiful and innocent people. I felt anger when it was prooved that the entire medical system was rotten. Events like these create collective wounds that are hard to heal. For weeks after the biocides scandal I barely could look fellow Romanians in the eye. We all had failed.
From my point of view, people that died in the Colectiv club fire are heroes. They paid with their lives for us to wake up as a nation and start questioning a lot of things. Their death overthrown a corrupt government, triggered buildings safety checks and changed legislation on the matter (rules for fire exits, housing capacity limits for venues, etc.), revealed a rotten medical system where people died of infections that were mainly a cause of using diluted biocides. Without this accident we might have lived, even today, without knowing about the rotten heltalthcare that burns huge funds and kills us silently.
Real change was happening for a short while, then the ones that were most accountable of the disastrous situation regained the elections.
It is a very tense and unveiling documentary. Romanians can find it also motivational when in doubt of going or not to vote.
