Synopsis

 Narrating the story of the relationship between cinema and war in Italy, which lasted for more than a century, from the Italian invasion of Libya in 1911 to the present day, we go through a journey through dozens of photos, documents, testimonies and interviews that together make a clear and complete picture. Through investigating different kinds of documents, the film examines how wars are initiated and fueled. The cinematography and editing excelled in exhibiting the archival pictures and documents in addition to the interviews. This smooth moving between the past and the present formed a sophisticated narrative to a very critical and sensitive topic.
