In fabbrica

About This Movie

In fabbrica is a compelling documentary that delves into the life of factory workers in Italy, especially after WWII. The film captures a raw and gritty atmosphere, showcasing the migration from the south to the industrial north. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, as it chronicles the economic boom and the subsequent labor struggles, like the notable 1980 march of the 40,000 in Turin. It's heavy with historical context, but what really stands out are the personal stories that emerge. The performances of the workers give a face to the statistics. It’s distinct in how it weaves together the socio-political fabric of an era with the individual narratives of resilience and protest.
