Jean-Stéphane Bron, Switzerland, France, 2010o

On 11th January 2008, hired by the City of Cleveland, lawyer Josh Cohen and his team filed a lawsuit against 21 banks, which they held accountable for the wave of foreclosures that had left their city in ruins. Since then the bankers on Wall Street have been fighting with all available means to avoid going to court. This film stages the trial that may never be held but in which facts, participants and their testimonies are all authentic.

Mit «Cleveland contre Wall Street» erfindet der Lausanner Regisseur ein dokumentarisches Genre, das weder Rekonstruktion, noch Doku-Fiktion ist, sondern Hypothese, Parabel, Exorzismus, Utopie… Diese grandiose Fabel vom Widerstand macht die menschliche Seite der Wirtschaftskrise erfahrbar, indem sie uns echte Gesichter und echte Verzweiflung zeigt. Sie kündet schlussendlich von der Stärke der amerikanischen Demokratie. (Auszug)

Antoine Duplan

Un vrai procès de cinémadans la tradition de Hollywood, en distillant un vrai suspense et en rendant impitoyables les joutes oratoires entre avocats de la défense et l'accusation, brillants et rusés.

Barbara Théate

Noble ambition que de donner la parole aux victimes, à ceux qui se retrouvent à la rue, tout en évitant intelligemment le piège de la diabolisation à outrance des grands groupes bancaires.

Julien Marsa
