Vik utopia. L’omicidio di Vittorio Arrigoni

Anna Maria Selini | 2012 | Italy | 52’

 

2011. April, 14. A video broadcasted online shows the italian volunteer Vittorio Arrigoni  blindfolded and with signs of violence. An Islamic extremist group in Gaza Strip claims responsability for the kidnapping and asks to Gaza Government the release of some Salafist inmates. Thirty hours to make the exchange, but Vittorio is killed before the deadline. Who was Vittorio Arrigoni, what was he doing in Gaza since 2008? And above all, why him? Activist, human shield, journalist, kidnapped and killed in Gaza on April, 15 2001. From 2008 he lived in Gaza, even during Molten Lead. Three months after the murder, the trial to the presumed kidnappers started, a disputed trial that didn't clear up the dark sides of this event. Whithin the indifference of the Italian Government.
