"HATE, even if it's making money. is an underground movie, that's how it was made. It's a film about police brutality in the largest sense, it's about the whole of society and not just about the hood"

This quote by Mathieu Kassovitz talks to the power of movie to bring attention to important social issues. The motion picture HATE is an underground film, suggesting it was made without the support of a significant studio. It is a film about authorities cruelty, however it is likewise about the bigger concern of how society as a whole can be complicit in this kind of violence. Kassovitz is recommending that this film is a way to bring attention to this concern and to make people aware of the larger implications of police brutality. By making this film without the support of a major studio, Kassovitz is showing that it is possible to make a powerful statement without the support of a large corporation. He is also showing that it is possible to earn money while still making a statement about an important social issue.
