I live in Mexico, and I can see a sad resemblance with the Romanian people. In one scene, a doctor and the young minister talk about how everyone involved in the antiseptic scandal that shocks the country has lost their humanity, and that's something as a Mexican I ask myself all the time. Not only our governments but our societies are rot to the core.

'Colective' is depressing on so many levels, but I applaud the labor of everyone who participated not only in unmasking the authorities but in making this relevant film.

A government run amok with corruption behind every door. Incredible access given to the filmmakers. It is one of the best documentaries of 2020 and a possible Oscar Nominee in that category.

COLLECTIVE is a powerful, shocking documentary directed by Alexander Nanau exploring the aftermath of the October 2015 Colectiv nightclub fire in Bucharest, Romania which killed 64 people, 26 at the site, 38 in hospitals, injuring 146. With aCOLLECTIVE is a powerful, shocking documentary directed by Alexander Nanau exploring the aftermath of the October 2015 Colectiv nightclub fire in Bucharest, Romania which killed 64 people, 26 at the site, 38 in hospitals, injuring 146. With a new election year looming, Journalists and a newly appointed Minister of Health investigate the hospital deaths and expose a corrupt health care system in Romania that has years of unscrupulous political involvement and interference. The film is a very timely exposé on how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Expand

The horrors of Collective are sickeningly specific; the implications, as suggested by its comprehensive indictment of a title, are universal.
