BAD TIMING
Tessa Doulkeri
The documentary deals with the social phenomenon of violence in modern societies. Five
examples from the real world, a fight in a neighborhood, a domestic argument, an act of
violence in a football match, an attack on a university campus or in the workplace can have
unpleasant results. We are used to solving our differences in a violent manner and almost
never retreat. We tend to push things to the limit and when our behaviour has hurtful consequences
we tend to call it “bad timing”! Could it possibly be that not only the person using
the violence was to blame, but also the one who suffered it? Could the conflict stop
with dialogue, with retreat? The documentary unravels real incidents, which may happen
to any of us at any time!
