Spes contra Spem: Free Inside
Directed by Ambrogio CrespiA documentary far from the "hierarchy of urgent things," far from the daily lives of every person. Criminals, mafiosi, authors of numerous murders accompany us on an unimaginable journey: a journey into dark souls, a journey into deep darkness through lightning shots like lightning blinding those looking at them. A political documentary which places the perspective, the sense of punishment, and his atonement through the voice of the sentenced and the prison administration. Men with a binge eating habit, a "never-ending punishment" that today is a manifestation of the institutions and who unquestionably thank those who have taken them out of their "free" lost lives. Prison policemen emerge as conscious heroes and guardians of our consciences: human and mature, state protectors. A journey into our black soul, an opaque mirror and fringed scum. The keywords that accompany you on this journey are: guilt, atonement, and hope. Hope against every hope, even where there is no reason to exist.
