LA NOSTRA STORIA / OUR STORY

Emigration is a common territory that has involved many people all over the world.
The stories of today’s emigrants are the stories of our past.
“Our story” tells the modern-day story of an African’s journey to Italy and that of an Italian outside Italy during the challenging post-war period.
The stories of these two families overlap: one story is told through images, the other is told by a narrator
