He is alive!

Overview

Amid a tense political climate, the opposition leader is killed in an apparent accident. When a prosecutor finds evidence of a government cover-up, witnesses get targeted. A thinly-veiled dramatization of the 1963 assassination of Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis and its aftermath, “Z” captures the popular outrage at the US-backed military dictatorship that ruled Greece at the time of its release.
