Serre – La Fascia Trasformata Ragusana
The largest fruit and vegetable market in Italy devastated by the large-scale retail trade; foreign and Italian agricultural labourers, amidst violence and trampled rights; a worker who disappeared after reporting the lack of safety in the workplace; a widespread ghetto, where the workers live in shacks; growing up in greenhouses, between denied childhood and early school leaving; basic health care left in the hands of a humanitarian association; a plastic sea and toxic fumes.
We are in the Ragusa area, where a mass production system – greenhouse cultivation – has irreparably transformed a territory and its population.
“Serre – La Fascia Trasformata ragusana” is a documentary by Luca Salvatore Pistone, produced by CISS , music by Isaac Cugini.
