"Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood" is a film directed by Daniele Vicari that depicts the final days of the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy. Inspired by real events, the movie delves into the protests that occurred during the summit, primarily focusing on the violent police crackdown targeting activists.

The film begins with thousands of protesters from all over the world converging in Genoa to voice their dissent against globalization, economic inequality, and environmental concerns. The G8 Summit is viewed as a symbol of corporate control over global politics and worsening social inequality. Among the demonstrators are peaceful activists, anti-globalization groups, and anarchists.

As tension rises, the Italian government imposes strict security measures to contain the protests. Riot police, armed with batons and shields, fill the streets, ready to confront the activists at any sign of unrest. Meanwhile, a group of activists known as the "Black Bloc" plans to infiltrate the peaceful protests and incite violence against the police.

The film follows several characters caught up in the chaotic events. Mark (a fictional character) is a young activist who travels to Genoa with his girlfriend and friends to join the peaceful protest. Their hope is to contribute to a global movement for change. Elena, a journalist, arrives to report on the demonstrations, hoping to shed light on the concerns of the activists.

On the other side, we have the police forces. Marco, an officer new to the riot squad, joins the forces assigned to maintain order during the summit. Initially, he believes in the government's claims of maintaining peace and protecting the city. However, as the situation escalates, he witnesses the violent methods employed by his colleagues and begins to question his own role in the events.

As the film progresses, clashes between the police and activists become increasingly violent. The Black Bloc's plans reveal themselves as chaos erupts, leading to widespread destruction and police brutality. Innocent protesters, including Mark and his friends, are subjected to severe beatings, arbitrary arrests, and even torture in the infamous Diaz School raid, where activists were wrongfully accused of harboring weapons and planning attacks.

The film exposes the stark contrast between the peaceful intentions of the majority of demonstrators and the excessive use of force by the police. It aims to shed light on the true events of those days while exposing the manipulation and misinformation propagated by the Italian government and media.

Overall, "Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood" offers a powerful and thought-provoking portrayal of the events that unfolded during the final days of the 2001 G8 Summit, highlighting the struggle for social justice, freedom of expression, and the brutal repression faced by those fighting against the unjust systems of power.
