SYNOPSIS 

The Covid-19 pandemic has placed food and nutrition at the center of a long and controversial debate. Insecurity, fear, absence of clear and defined answers and solutions, have catapulted individuals and communities into a confusional state that has embraced social, cultural and economic aspects. This lack of certainty was strongly projected and manifested on the alimentary level and on food, from its production to consumption. In this scenario, what and how to eat takes a central dimension, the entire food chain is being questioned, at times placing itself as the key to response, preventing and addressing the consequences in the health emergency and pandemic situation it has generated. “La Pancia Verde” retraces some of the good mutual and solidarity practices that have arisen in Umbria during the pandemic.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT 

The film is the result of the need to give light to those who, individually or collectively, have mobilized to give a hand to those who experienced difficulties during the pandemic. The stories told belong to the Umbrian territory and to the authors’ daily life. Realities with which the authors collaborate or for which they militate, more or less directly.
