The last hours of Grigoris Lambrakis, who was assassinated by members of a para-statal organisation with the complicity of the police, an event that inspired Costas Gavras’ film, Z. The film features documents on the social origin of fringe urban groups and their links with state mechanisms. The events leading to the assassination contrast with the chorus from the crowd mourning for the hero of the peace movement.
