Proiezione del film “Terra a perdere” in presenza dei realizzatori Simona Tarzia, Chiara Pracchi e Fabio Palli
Presentazione di Carlo Tombola
“Terra a perdere”
Realizzato nel corso di due anni dalla giornalista genovese Simona Tarzia insieme alla collega di Milano Chiara Pracchi e al videoreporter Fabio Palli, “Terra a perdere” non si è fermato neanche quando si è scontrato con il potere della lobby militare e i testimoni sono stati chiamati in caserma e diffidati dal parlare con i giornalisti. Perché nell’isola delle vacanze e del mare il dissenso è criminalizzato e i sardi repressi dalla macchina della guerra che fa del loro territorio un campo di battaglia in tempo di pace.
