Cariati, a remote village in Calabria overlooking the Ionian Sea. Public health care has been reduced to a trickle by decades of budget cuts and privatisation. With the Deficit Recovery Plan, the last hospital in the area has also been closed: one of 18 hospitals cancelled overnight in the whole of Calabria. A handful of rebels of all ages decide to protest as no one has ever dared to do, occupying the hospital with the aim of obtaining its reopening. Meanwhile, some of the most important Italian and international intellectuals, doctors, experts and activists are revealing the true local and global responsibilities for the attack on public health, and support Cariati's struggle.
