9 Scenes of Violence

Michael Krotkiewski (2011)

Humans abuse, kill and harass each other. Violence is a potential force within all of us. It is a force that can explode suddenly, or develop over time. In this documentary film, people return to the moment when impulse transcended into action, and when their lives – or someone else’s life – were forever changed. Without explanatory circumstances, this film opens the forbidden doors to the darker side of the human psyche.
