Kangaroo Court is the second part of the multimedia reconstruction of the sequence from Fritz Lang's famous movie M (1931), which began with the photographic replica of the scene of the illegal trial of the psychopathic murder in Berlin underground. In the first phase, the Berlin half world was revived by two hundred costumed actors, rounded up in a devastated former Zagreb factory. Two film cameramen kept a look out on the process of their costumed retro-initiation to Lang's universe, which was in the film “reconstruction of reconstruction” additionally underlined by the counter-point of documentary material and fragments from the sound track with dialogues from M.
The film was partly financed by the Ministry of Culture of Republic of Croatia, the City of Zagreb – City Office for Culture and the City Goverment of Osijek.
