An interesting and important topic, but doesn't need to be a feature length film

For the first 20 mins I was fully engaged, the footage and stories are very moving. The reactions of the victims to their own battering was intense. However, the film gets repetitive, as the same ideas and themes are only reinforced, but not developed. It is difficult to go into depth with political theory in film form; I personally believe film can only be used as a tool to agitate but not educate. The film references Weber throughout but I also recommend Charles Tilly's "Do states make wars?".

This film would be better as a short doc uploaded to YouTube so more people could see what's going on in France.

Wissenswertes
The french title ("Un pays qui se tient sage", lit. "A country behaving gently") is a reference to the sentence "Voilà une classe qui se tient sage" (lit. "Here's a class behaving gently"). This sentence can be heard in a video taken during the arresting of 153 high-school pupils in Mantes-la-Jolie (France) in Dec., 6th, 2018. The arresting followed pupils demonstration and urban violence in the neighborhood of their high-school (Lycée Saint-Exupéry). The police kept the pupils in a courtyard, kneeling, hands on their head, during several hours. On the video, a policeman can be heard saying "Here's a class behaving gently". The video was much commented by French politicians and journalists.
