Una montagna di balle

What if governing Campania as if in a permanent state of emergency were just a ruse by the administration to cover up years of bad government? This is the central question of this enquiry film. As narrated by Ascanio Celestini, the evidence-based analysis looks into the causes of and the responsibility for "Western Europe's greatest environmental disaster." The film chronicles 15 years of extraordinary administration, seeking to shed light on appropriation of public funds, collusion between the authorities and the eco-Mafia, boycotting of differentiated garbage collection, disposal of "normal waste", unpopular with those who would stand most to gain from it. Now come plans for new incinerators, like that in Acerra, an easy solution with controversial consequences.
