RADIX

Radix Siamo uomini o caporali? A storytelling project surfing the web

From Friday, June 18, “Siamo uomini o caporali?” kicks off. Each episode, on a fortnightly basis, will seek to highlight and raise awareness on a specific aspect related to the phenomenon of gang-mastering. The broader narrative thread will be carried through the narrator’s voice, that of actor Francesco Stella, reporting the stories of all the protagonists and partners contacted in the previous months. The intent is to solicit the key question of who is a man and who, instead, is a ‘caporale’ (meaning both ‘corporal’ and ‘gang-master’ in Italian), echoing Totò’s famous phrase. The cut chosen is a narrative one that seeks to be deliberately empathetic to facilitate and attract listeners’ attention.
