Following a devastating nightclub fire in Bucharest that kills dozens, a team of investigative journalists at a Romanian sports newspaper begins pulling a thread that unravels a massive corruption scandal reaching deep into the country's healthcare system. Alexander Nanau's documentary is a real-time account of accountability journalism at its most consequential — a film about what happens when the truth is uncovered and the system fights back. Nominated for two Academy Awards, it stands as one of the defining political documentaries of its decade.
