SYNOPSIS
"My name is Giancarlo Siani. I was born on September 19, 1959. I'm 26 years old. Forever." It's Giancarlo himself (Domenico Cuomo) who takes the viewer on a journey of discovery through his life. A journey that reconstructs the history, the untold events, the death, and above all, the legacy of the journalist tragically killed by the Camorra. A journey that began in the classrooms of the Torre Annunziata Comprehensive School, on those same streets traveled by the journalist's green Mehari, by those same students who see him as a symbol, not a hero, by that same land of silence that now cries out for opportunity. A journey accompanied by director Marco Risi, his brother Paolo Siani, magistrate Armando D'Alterio, those who knew him, and those who simply heard about him. The journey is enriched by historical contributions from Rai Teche and excerpts from the film Fortapasc, produced with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education.
