Kapinalliset
Rebels with a cause
The themes of the film are civil disobedience, the activist's trauma and the role of the authorities as the protector of society in Finland that is said to be the world’s safest country and country that has one of the most trusted police force in the world. What feelings does the activist have to go through in the action and who should the officials eventually protect and from whom?
The summer and autumn rebellions in the film were one of the biggest media events of the 2021 in Finland, in the country where the demonstration culture has traditionally been very restrained and authorities used to be deeply respected. The film paints a hopeful and sympathetic picture of awake contemporary youth who are ready to fight the climate crisis, even by resolutely breaking the law.
Elokuvan teemoja ovat kansalaistottelemattomuus, aktivistin trauma sekä virkavallan rooli yhteiskunnan suojelijana Suomessa, maassa, jonka sanotaan olevan maailman turvallisin ja jossa poliisitoiminnan taso on tilastojen mukaan maailman kirkkainta kärkeä. Millaisen tunnekirjon aktivisti joutuu käymään läpi aktiossa ja ketä virkakoneiston lopulta tulisikaan suojella ja keneltä?
