Il colore delle parole 2009

Directed by Marco S. Puccioni

Teodoro, Martin, Justin, and Steve are African men who have lived in Italy for over thirty years without obtaining citizenship. They arrived in the 1970s to study and have since built lives in Italy, forming a band, playing soccer, and raising Italian-feeling children. Despite their integration, they face racism and are not considered Italian. Puccioni highlights Italy’s struggle with integration and racism, affecting a second generation of immigrants.
