What is Z about? Toggle content

In a Mediterranean country, a left-leaning deputy is assassinated in broad daylight after giving a speech advocating for nuclear disarmament. The government and police conspire to cover up the crime, but a tenacious magistrate and a photojournalist uncover evidence that leads to the indictment of the murderers and high-ranking military officers.s Despite the initial victory, the film takes a dark turn as key witnesses die under suspicious circumstances, the assassins receive lenient sentences, and the military seizes power in a coup d'état. A powerful critique of government corruption and the suppression of dissenting voices.
