Wolski does not show the uprising from the protesters' point of view, but from the oppressors' perspective, based on the original recordings of telephone conversations. A refreshing choice. The voices you here are those of members of a crisis team of senior officials from the military and the Ministry of the Interior. Clumsily they try to assess the situation and discuss strategies to keep the protesters under control. Tension is audibly mounting, both on the street and in their office. The recordings show a mixture of confusion, fear, ruthlessness and inefficiency that can all be heard in the original conversations.
