Description
Straub responds fiercely to the senseless blinding of a French activist filmmaker during a peaceful protest.
More generally, Straub, quoting Jean-Jacques Rousseau, assails the capitalist state, abusive police forces, and philosophers who turn a blind eye to injustice, all while applauding the courageous women of the markets who fight for the poor and the marginalized.
