Crisis

This short film (2:57) is commissioned as part of the Merline project in 2008. It is used to provoke discussions about Crisis with five different youth groups in Lille.
Crisis reminds me of Hannah Arendt’s comment on the former Nazi commender Eichmann’s trial: the Banality of Evil —the tendency of ordinary people to obey orders and conform to mass opinion without critically thinking about the results of their action or inaction.
