Introduction
The longest one-man animated short film in the history of
cel-animation,
based on the real story of Ilaria Alpi, an Italian journalist who
was killed in Somalia on 1994 together with her camera operator
Miran Hrovatin. The
story follows the last weeks of their life,
starting with the
interview to an Italian diplomat, then following the two in the
northern Somalia, where they go deep into their investigation
discovering the names of people involved into a case of weapon and
toxic waste traffic between Western and developing countries, in
which the institutions were involved together with criminality.

Aim
Purpose of
this production is to remember
this
important
story
to whom
do
not remember or do not know
it at
all, accompanying them to reflect on
the courage of the two journalists, traffic of
waste in Third World countries, the economic interests linked to
the many and endless wars in
the world.
The
case is still ongoing in Italy and younger generation must be made
aware of it.
>
Mission
Hopefully this film
will be the first step to inaugurate a new type of Italian animation,
more committed, not mere entertainment, to
tell
to young people in Italy and abroad these important episodes of our country
that otherwise one
day soon risk being forgotten.
