SOCIAL ISSUES

SONS OF HONOR by Sophia Luvarà

In the most violent region of Italy - Calabria - the "Ndrangheta" mafia rules. One of the few who dares to stand up against the mafia is the President of the juvenile court, Roberto Di Bella. He took a drastic step by starting a re- education programme titled "Free to Choose". The programme separates teenage boys from their mafia families to break a generational cycle of criminality. The goal is straightforward: to show the teenager, who has been groomed for a life of violence and criminality, that there is another way of life. Sons of Honor is an epic coming-of-age drama that follows the crusade of Roberto Di Bella, a man living under protection 24/7. Through him and his team of the Juvenile Court, we will meet the sons of some of the most dangerous men in Italy.

THE COLOR OF JUSTICE by Marjolaine Grappe

In July 2014, Eric Garner died in the street after being violently arrested by a NYC Police officer who is seen throwing his arm around his neck and pulling him to the ground. His death was recorded in an amateur video that shows him telling the police repeatedly "I can't breathe". Five months later, a grand jury declined to indict the policeman because of insufficient proof and the case was dismissed. In 2018, a legal team conducted a mock trial to rectify this denial of justice.

HISTORY 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF WORLD WAR II

THE NAZI-SOVIET PACT: THE FIASCO OF THE EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY by Cédric Tourbe The pact concluded in August 1939 between Hitler and Stalin is still nowadays a symbol of the duplicity and cynicism of the Soviet dictator. However, the true story of this pact, starting point of World War II, is way more ambiguous than it seems. It is, first of all, the story of an astonishing collective failure in which Britons and French share a lot of responsibility. Following the events that led to its signature, this is an account of this fiasco through the eyes of the ones that tried their best to avoid the worst.
