The war on drugs is getting politicized. In France and any other country. This is the thesis that supports the didactic film ‘State Scandal’ but does not include the Manichaeism that European political cinema had in the 70s. Book written by a journalist from the newspaper ‘Libération’ and a former police spy in the drug trafficking network. The former uses the latter’s experience to question the workings of the system. Is it all worth fighting the drug business? to doThe chief of operations is the person who benefits from the same job.? Of course, there are no clear answers, as there is nothing in ‘All the President’s Men’ to give another example of journalist-political cinema, but doubts are well placed and spread to many other areas such as its creation. During the Felipe González Government, GAL struggles with ETA, the pivot of a key sequence of the movie. There is another long series of trials, but it focuses a lot on the testimony of the person responsible for the fight against drug trafficking and as good as the actor who played him, Vincent LindonHere too the approach is unconventional and the tension comes from other ways. The ‘state scandal’ investigates, suggests and leaves a lot of reasonable doubt. That’s its worth, which is no less.
