'Sloi: The Factory of Madness' by K. Bernardi & L. Bergamaschi - 1

Sloi, la citta' degli invisibili is a documentary by Katia Bernardi and Luca Bergamaschi. It recounts the history of 'Societa' Lavorazioni Organici e Inorganici', a chemical factory founded in 1939 by Mussolini and closed in 1978, due to a fire which created a serious problem in Trento. Its product, tetra-ethyl lead, is one of the most toxic organometallic compound. During 40 years, hundreds of workers died or had health problems. The area is still dangerous.
