Romanians are crushed by the state that should protect them. Our film shows how | Alexander Nanau and Antoaneta Opriș

There's still no justice for the 64 lives lost in a 2015 nightclub fire. Our Oscar-nominated film Collective tells their story

We were asked to make a list of values that bring success or failure in life. With success I trust friendship, solidarity, hard work, altruism, study. With failure I trust selfishness, deceit, submission."

Alex Hogea was 18 when he wrote this in one of his high-school tests. One year later, in October 2015, he was a victim of the fire in the Colectiv nightclub in Bucharest. He died four weeks later in Vienna from several bacterial infections that he contracted while hospitalised in Bucharest. Alex was one of 64 people at the club killed by either the fire or negligence in the Romanian healthcare system.
