Assembled from archival footage from the 2024 Palestine protests in Berlin, this film-essay is centered on the police camera, recording and archiving protestors’ bodies, and the protestors’ body; on the state’s monopoly on violence and protesting under constant surveillance. A composition of public space in which the historical origins of the police, its militarization, and its racial targeting emerge.
