'The Blockade' offers an insider's view of the longest, most massive and politically most important student protest in this country ever since 1971. The fight against the commercialization of education and the method of blocking classes started in April 2009 at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, went on for 34 and spread over 20 faculties across the country, making students a relevant political entity. The director documented everything from the exuberant preparatory meetings and the action of taking over the faculty building to the first traces of weariness; from private conversations and late night discussions to futile attempts to reach the Minister of Education; the initial support of the Faculty Council members and how they turned their backs on the protest in its late phase. This film shows that there is a much wider dimension to blockade than its physical aspect.
