In a time of growing political tension and protests, the documentary "The Dialogue Police" follows the work of a special unit within the Swedish police that relies exclusively on dialogue rather than coercive measures. Their goal is to prevent conflict between protesters and the police and to ensure that citizens can safely express their opinions. Director Susanna Edwards offers an intense and human perspective on those who stand between protesters and power, often on the brink of exhaustion. The film is not only a timely testament to the fragility of democracy but also a reminder that dialogue remains its most powerful weapon. The film The Dialogue Police won the Docs Journalistic Relevance Award at the Docs Barcelona 2025 festival (Spain).

After the screening, there will be a Q&A with the director Susanna Edwards in English. The discussion will be interpreted into Slovak Sign Language.
