The screening, part of the “Documentary of the Month” program, will take place at 8:00 PM at the Casal Municipal d’Amposta (Crta. Simpàtica, 6). Admission is priced at 4€ and the film duration is 90 minutes.
The film focuses on the creation of the The Dialogue Police unit in Sweden, an initiative that arose following the violent clashes during the EU summit in Gothenburg in 2001. This unit works full-time to protect the right of people to demonstrate peacefully.
The film explores how this team fights to prevent violence from recurring, reflecting on the possibility of maintaining democracy and managing conflicts without resorting to force.
The documentary follows this small group of police officers in Stockholm, who must balance their personal opinions with professional duty, using dialogue and trust to de-escalate tense situations.
The film is directed by Susanna Edwards, a filmmaker with a notable career in both fiction and documentary. Edwards won the Swedish Guldbagge award in 1996 for the documentary Sunshadow, about the bullfighter Cristina Sánchez, and received a nomination for her work Respect! in 2000.
The Dialogue Police has received significant recognition, including official selection at DocsBarcelona 2025, the CPH:DOX HUMA:RIGHTS AWARD 2025, and its presence at the Göteborg Film Festival Nordic Documentary Competition 2025.
