Z; Directed by Costa Gavras 1969

This is a film based on the assassination of an honest politician and opposition political candidate in Greece.

This is, really, an excellent film.  It was not only nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, but also for Best Film of the year.

The film details the corruption used to suppress an opposition political party that is against nuclear weapons and the use of Greece for American military bases.  The film also explores the cover up of the assassination of the leader of this party.

I think this is a must-see film.   "Z" becomes the symbol, by the way, for "He lives!"
