Italy is facing a critical period, never faced in its history. The Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, reflects a bad image of the country, to the world around. The scandals and the unemployment rate in Italy, is one of the highest in Europe.
But what is the real Italy? Are things really like this in a country that has a rich culture and background?
Lorenzo Perrelli explored what Italy is really like. He will take us through a journey inside and outside, analyzing this particular political moment of history, the economic crisis and of course Silvio Berlusconi.
He went to Italy and spoke with correspondent, sociologist, economist and academic professor to try to have a complete view of what is Italy today.
At the end of his journey he discovered the big problems that are surrounding the Italian peninsula, the big influence that Silvio Berlusconi has and how the world economic crisis is reflecting in Italy more than in other countries.
To show how Italy is being affected from the big economic crisis more than others, one example reflects the actual situation. Only two countries in the world in fact, have a GDP which have growing by less in the last decade. These are Haiti and Zimbabwe.
Shocking but true.
This is an unedited piece from the documentary where the academic professor of International Relations, James Walston, with an example, tries to explain the Italian economic crisis.
Profound subject to work on , especially after how the stock markets in USA and Europe are suffering due to low growth rate and high public debt. But at the same time, I hope your documentary takes an unbiased approach and does not become a propaganda product against Berlusconi. There should be justice and hearing from both the sides.
