Director’s statement
When I’ve been asked to direct a web series about Gela’s city I wasn’t sure where to start. It’s a city a just knew by fame and bad stereotypes, that’s how I landed there for my research. I found something completely different, a warm place made by special stories of people that on a way or an other have decided not to give up. They became my characters and an example of how talking about Gela is talking about Italy in its whole.
