The Other Side
Directed by Roberto Minervini
Produced by Agat Films & Cie / Ex Nihilo, Okta Film
A sobering documentary portrait of a marginalized community struggling against systemic abandonment and social erasure, grounded in intimate human observation.
In an invisible territory at the margins of society, at the border between anarchy and illegality, lives a wounded community that is trying to respond to a threat: of being forgotten by political institutions and having their rights as citizens trampled. Disarmed veterans, taciturn adolescents, drug addicts trying to escape addiction through love, ex-special forces soldiers still at war with the world, floundering young women and future mothers, and old people who have not lost their desire to live. Through this hidden pocket of humanity, the door opens to the abyss of today's America.
