100 Steps - cinema

directed by Marco Tullio Giordana (Italy, 2000, 114 min.)
followed by an encounter with Domenico Chianese and the director.
The other face of our society is the sacrifice of those struggling to change it.  Based on real events, the film puts intense civic passion into the reconstruction of a shameful page in Italy's history:  the martyrdom of young Peppino Impastato, who challenged the power of the Mafia with the weapon of irony.
