In 2015, a fire at Bucharest’s Colectiv club leaves 27 dead and 180 injured. Soon after, burn victims begin dying in hospitals from wounds that were not life threatening. Then a doctor blows the whistle to a team of investigative journalists.
The real-life story behind the 2019 CIFF-selection narrative feature THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Director Alexander Nanau follows a crack team of investigators at the Romanian newspaper Gazeta Sporturilor as they try to uncover a vast health-care fraud that enriched moguls and politicians and led to the deaths of innocent citizens.

COLLECTIVE follows journalists, whistle blowers, and authorities alike. An immersive and uncompromising look into a dysfunctional system, exposing corruption, propaganda, and manipulation that nowadays affect not only Romania, but societies around the world.
