CinemAmbiente in cooperation with Circoscrizione VI - Torino, organizes the film exhibition 'Ecokids 2011', screenings for the primary schools of the city. All the events will be introducedby an environmental expert.
The original film title takes the last words of the refrain of the Italian national anthem. The film tells the story of Luca, Emerico, Angelo and Salvatore--four soldiers sent on peace mission to Iraq, Kosovo, and Bosnia--who later developed cancer from exposure to depleted uranium. Their accounts interweave the drama of recovery from cancer, return to civilian life, and indifference by state institutions. A compelling enquiry into a disorder known as the Balkan syndrome which has aroused little concern despite the deaths of 164 young soldiers and the 2500 cases reported so far.
Angelo Miotto, professional journalist, has collaborated with Radio Popolare-Network since 1992. He is co-author with Giovanni Giacopuzzi of the book " Storie basche" and the libretti for "Non guardate al domain" and "Errata Corrige".
Leonardo Brogioni, freelance journalist since 1993, received the Italian Professional Photographers Association [AFIP] award for photographic studies. He currently teaches photojournalism at the IED and the School of Journalism, Catholic
University, Milan.
Matteo Scanni, journalist, has collaborated on "Il Mondo", "Corriere Lavoro", "Corriere della Sera", "L'Espresso", "D Donna" e "Diario". He has produced and directed the reportage Piani di fuga (2002) and Il paese del maiale (2003), the film O Sistema (2006) and the documentary Cronache basche-Euskal kronikak (2007) with Angelo Miotto. His theater pieces include "Cinque pezzi fragili", "Quel che resta di via Adda" and "Errata Corrige" in which he also appears.
“Four stories that recount the experience of overcoming cancer, of chemotherapy and the subsequent loss of hair, of being shuffled around from agency to agency, of not being able to have children, of losing any reason to laugh. Four soldiers called to duty. But the greatest danger was not from enemy fire.”
