The Riot Act
The Riot Act
A gripping multi-perspective crime drama centering on a peaceful protest for fair housing prices that suddenly turned violent. When injured police officer Jan Vogt (Justus Johanssen) wakes up in the hospital after the deadly escalation, the public blames him for what happened. But what really happened? Detective Charlotte Stauffer (Brigitte Hobmeier) leads the internal investigation and uncovers a web of circumstances and split second decisions on both sides that blurs the lines between victims and perpetrators.
