The Slap (2011)

The 2011 Australian The Slap follows eight people connected to a barbecue where a man hits a child who is not his own. Each perspective changes what the incident threatens: a marriage, an identity, a friendship or a claim to moral authority. Start here for the clearest small action with an expanding social radius. The participants do not have equal power, and understanding their motives does not require agreeing with their defence.
