A large-scale police operation in Austria in 1999 went down in history under the name OPERATION SPRING. It was the first action based on the techniques of extensive wiretapping, and it led to legal proceedings against 120 people. Angelika Schuster and Tristan Sindelgruber's film of the same name questioned the police procedural and surveillance methods, uncovered some inconsistencies in the evidence and triggered an intense, nationwide debate.

"Anyone who can stomach sustained doubts about the Austrian rule of law should not miss this superbly researched film." HEINZ PATZELT AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SECRETARY GENERAL AUSTRIA
