Riace, Calabria. Like many villages in southern Italy, Riace has long suffered from a massive rural exodus. One day, a boat carrying 200 Kurds ran aground on the beach. Spontaneously, the villagers come to their aid. Little by little, migrants and villagers will rehabilitate abandoned houses, revive businesses and ensure a future for the school. After 20 yearsc of harmony, this village, which had become a model for welcoming migrants, became the target of the populist wave that was ravaging Italy. The poison has spread. Domenico Lucano, the mayor of Riace, faces 13 years and 2 months in prison and a fine of 500,000 euros. Never before seen in Italian judicial history. It's a political trial that's starting a new battle as Italy swings to the side of Fascim.
