A group of employees from a university are mistaken for enemies of the people and get beaten up by the townspeople. This film is based on a real life event and looks at what influenced the people's behaviour.
My impressions:
It seems incomprehensible
That religion and base instincts
Becomes such a potent force
The priest, the administration
The culture
All in cahoots
The people
Innocent or cowed
Lambs to the slaughter
Those willing to go against the norm
Face the majority
Not given the benefit of the day
Virtually no chance of success
The perpetrators would
Never admit to their deeds
As it was a mob that took to the streets
They had the advantage in numbers
The power that wielded and
Struck the final blow
