Capitano Ultimo - Le ali del falco

Can you be accused of being close to ‘ndrangheta families if you have pursued a career in the name of legality? The case of Ambrogio Crespi is much more than a judicial case; it is the answer to these unthinkable questions. It is the paradox that becomes reality. Accused of external complicity in mafia association, he is arrested and tried for having provided votes from mafia circles to a councilor Lombardo… never seen, never known. Although it seemed clear even to the insiders that Ambrogio Crespi was not involved in the charges, the first degree ends with an incredible sentence of 12 years, double the request of the same PM. A sentence that, like a guillotine, weighs on the life of Ambrogio and his entire family.
Stato di Grazia

A documentary far from the "hierarchy of urgent things," far from the daily lives of every person. Criminals, mafiosi, authors of numerous murders accompany us on an unimaginable journey: a journey into dark souls, a journey into deep darkness through lightning shots like lightning blinding those looking at them. A political documentary which places the perspective, the sense of punishment, and his atonement through the voice of the sentenced and the prison administration. Men with a binge eating habit, a "never-ending punishment" that today is a manifestation of the institutions and who unquestionably thank those who have taken them out of their "free" lost lives. Prison policemen emerge as conscious heroes and guardians of our consciences: human and mature, state protectors. A journey into our black soul, an opaque mirror and fringed scum. The keywords that accompany you on this journey are: guilt, atonement, and hope. Hope against every hope, even where there is no reason to exist.

Terra Mia

During February of 2020, a tragedy began that struck, as the first Western nation, Italy, and then went on to devastate the rest of world—the Covid-19 pandemic. So many images come to mind at the mere mention of this terrible virus, but one, above all, mercilessly describes those moments, symptomatic of a wound that will indelibly remain sealed in our collective consciousness—the coffins squeezed to capacity into military trucks in Bergamo. The whole area around the city of Bergamo was truly put to the test, there isn’t one family that wasn’t struck by the virus, the sound of ambulance sirens blared more than in any other city and the fear was so tangible that you could see it in the eyes of the inhabitants. However, this story is not about the hospital itself but about the people who promised, working day and night, that this miracle would come to pass. 7 days and, thanks to the Alpini, Bergamo can finally breathe again.
