Marco Turco wins the Festival of the People
The Festival dei Popoli , which ended yesterday in Florence, has a winner. It is In un altro paese ('in another country'), a documentary in which Marco Turco lists the hidden skeletons of the mafia, from the end of the war until now, and investigates the probable relationship between the Cosa Nostra and the current Italian political system.
"In un altro paese proves that the tragic events it depicts are a contemporary issue", says the jury of the festival. This film produced by DocLab and developed with the support of BBC Storyville and of the MEDIA Programme of the European Union was written by Vania Del Borgo and the director, in collaboration with the American writer-journalist Alexander Stille.
