I did not live the Italian First Republic, my memories start with 90s, and similarly to many of my generation I could not comprehend how the politic was before Silvio Berlusconi. Then I am really grateful to Walter Veltroni for having directed this precious documentary/film.
Lots of interviews (with the actual President, with companions of the Communist Party and with political opponents, with Ingrao, with Berlinguer's daughter Bianca who revealed something of his private profile) and original sequences of Berlinguer's speeches contribute to lift the fog upon a quite controversial historical period for Italy.
The style is similar to a narration, which is very dear to the author, where every character has been investigated both by the emotional and by the political point of view. At the end of the documentary I felt Berlinguer's words so deep, revolutionary and actual. I am grateful with the author for this work.
