## Summary

Dominik Moll’s *Case 137* follows an internal affairs investigator examining whether police used excessive force during a Yellow Vest protest in Paris. Through her inquiry, the fictional film explores public trust, social divisions and how far police authority should extend.

Investigator Stéphanie Bertrand seeks to identify the officer who shot Guillaume Girard in the head with a riot gun. Her work is hampered by officers’ reluctance to testify against colleagues and civilian witnesses’ fears of reprisals; she and her small team piece together evidence from phone footage and interviews. Moll researched the French police oversight unit, the IGPN, whose methods he describes as difficult to access and opaque.
