RAGAZZI IRRESPONSABILI

Category: Edition 2020

Synopsis
For many young Italians, Greta Thunberg is not only a symbol, but also an assumption of responsibility. Because we ourselves, with our daily commitment or disengagement, decide whether to change or not to change things. Today, in fact, the real revolution passes through everyday life. Who are the young people who in Italy follow the example of Greta Thunberg and organize the Fridays For Future, the school strikes for the climate? What are their values, their objectives, their contradictions? Where can they go? With what forms and actions? The documentary RAGAZZI IRRESPONSABILI aims to find an answer to these questions, following the children who made their voices heard in Italy, telling the stories and passion of the students who mobilized to counteract the destructive action of man - and its robbery economy - on the environment. The provocative title of the documentary recalls the harsh accusation made by the young Swedish activist on the politicians who crowded the European Parliament during her speech in Brussels, for the immobility shown in actions aimed at tackling climate change and pollution of the planet.
