The front line told through the lens of thirteen photojournalists, who with their shots showed the hell, the horrors, the suffering and the indelible scars of war. The voices, photographs and memories of men and women become the stages of a physical and emotional journey between past and present. Because the front line is not only where bombs are shot and dropped, but everywhere you “fight” daily for survival. Original Italian version with English subtitles.

FEDERICA TUZI legge e racconta Più veloce dell’ombra, Fandango Libri. Alessandra ha dieci anni, indossa solo salopette e adora giocare a flipper.
E’ ancora informe, un po’ come Barbapapà, e le sue prime cotte sono per ragazzine bellissime e altezzose che non la degnano di un sorriso. Le piacerebbe parlarne con i suoi genitori, ma loro sono troppo presi a litigare e a rinfacciarsi la responsabilità di questa figlia piena di tic di cui non riescono a sentirsi orgogliosi. La lettura sarà accompagnata da una performance di disegno veloce.
A modo loro, sono tre vittime degli stereotipi di gender: la madre è una Charlie’s Angel perennemente a dieta che cerca di fare la mamma perfetta, la moglie perfetta e la casalinga perfetta, senza ovviamente riuscirci; il padre è un Magnum P.I. allegro e giocherellone che però sacrifica la sua vitalità per fare l’uomo in carriera; Alessandra viene continuamente scambiata per un maschio e si sente dire “lesbica” senza sapere che vuol dire.
