Campania in-felix (Unhappy Country)

Directed by

Mario, his son Alessandro, and Bruna live in the “deadly triangle”, an area in the province of Naples between Acerra, Nola and Marigliano where the camorra manages the collection and disposal of industrial waste from northern Italian cities. Surrounded by toxic waste material, Mario and Alessandro have seen family members and most of their sheep flocks die, and Bruna has been diagnosed with endometriosis. Their personal stories, together with an account by physician and activist Gennaro Esposito, describe the plight of the area’s residents, a compelling story about the environment, the families and the society in which they live.
