 Un documentaire de la serie tres réputée 30 for 30 sur les émeutes de la finale de la Stanley Cup entre les Vancouver Canucks et les Boston Bruins. Vraiment interessant avec des points de vue et commentaires réfléchis sur ce qui s'est passé de la part de tous les échantillons de protagonistes notamment des jeunes émeutiers lambdas et de policiers qui ont une reflexion qu'ici en France ils n'ont certainement pas. Un film qui a fait la reputation de la serie de petits films incluant notamment the two escobars.

30 for 30 documentary covers an unusual subject that’s more around sports than on sports themselves. That would be the 2011 riot in Vancouver, B.C. following the Canucks’ loss in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins. I’m Just Here For The Riot, directed by Vancouver filmmakers Kathleen Jayme (known for Finding Big Country and The Grizzlie Truth) and Asia Youngman (known for This Ink Runs Deep and N’xaxaitkw) covers a lot of ground, touching on the lead-up to the riot, what actually happened, and the aftermath, including the social media shaming and legal consequences for many participants. And it’s a notable look at the complicated dimensions of that event. As someone who lived in the Vancouver area at the time, this was both a thoughtful look back at elements I had seen and one that offered new perspectives on what happened that night and in the following years.

A remarkable element of I’m Just Here For The Riot is the amount of footage and images from the day in question. Youngman and Jayme weave together video and audio from a wide variety of sources, from cellphone cameras (far from as advanced in 2011 as they are now) to media reports, and they smartly intercut those with interviews from all sides. Perhaps most notable are some of the interviews with actual rioters. But also included are fans who tried to intervene, media who covered it (both from the sports side and the news side), the man behind a Facebook page dedicated to identifying rioters, the former Vancouver police chief, and a police detective who was on the streets at the time. And maybe the key points here come from one fan’s comment early on, “At the end of the day, we’re all capable of anarchy,” and from another’s closing thought: “Have you ever done anything wrong?”
