Synopsis
This is the life of Giuseppe Di Vittorio (1892/1957), Secretary General of the Italian Workers' Union from the fascist era until 1957. He was a farm laborer from the age of 7 and a revolutionary unionist willing to pay the price of exile and imprisonment for defending workers' rights.
Di Vittorio's words, both written and heard, are the heart of the film. They contain wealth, charisma and intensity and thus, better than any other form, render the idea of the man and the manager who spoke them and the reasons why Peppino Di Vittorio has truly become a legend in the hearts of the people.
It is a story told with extraordinary, previously unseen documentary footage, through the voices of family members, historical eyewitnesses, comrades in the labor struggle and young people living in Cerignola, his hometown in southern Italy.
Places: Rome, Cerignola, Ortanova, Lucera.
Testimonies: Baldina Di Vittorio, Guglielmo Epifani, Vittorio Foa, Emanuele Macaluso, Giuseppe Papa, Adolfo Pepe, Michele Pistillo, Michele Sacco, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro and the Cerignola’s boys and girls.
The archives: LUCE, RAI, Workers’ Union Archive, CGIL Archive.
Original Music composed by the Master Nicola Piovani.
