06/05: The Sixth of May begins outside a television studio, where tabloid photographer Jim is busy shooting a young starlet. Jim hears gunshots: Pim Fortuyn has been assassinated in the parking lot. He soon realizes his photos of the crime scene contain potentially explosive information. With his teenaged daughter, he launches his own impromptu investigation into who is really manipulating the Green Offensive activists – notably Turkish immigrant and former political prisoner Aisa – being held responsible for the murder. A conspiracy is afoot, and it involves some of the most powerful figures in global politics. – Toronto Film Festival
