Against the background of
the current economic crisis and today's mediatised world, SKaGeN looks back on
the life and work of the CCC, operating from facts as well as lies and fantasy.
CCC, THE FAT YEARS ARE
OVER, is based on documentary material about the Cellules Communistes
Combattantes, a revolutionary group that committed 25 attacks against
capitalist targets in Belgium between 1982 and 1985.
After an accumulation of
misunderstandings and miscommunication during the inquest, two firefighters
lose their lives. 28 others are injured. A handful of attacks later, on
December 16, 1985, the revolutionary fighters are arrested, and face a long
prison sentence. 4 hunger strikes, 0 confessions, and 17 years of solitary
confinement later they are released again.
