The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.

È un film, questo, che racconta una storia cruda, fatta di coraggio e dignità e che ha già vinto il Leone d’argento per la miglior regia alla 80ª Mostra internazionale d’arte cinematografica di Venezia.
