" January 2010, Rosarno, Calabria. The immigrants' manifestations of rage reveal, for a short while, the conditions of deterioration and injustice thousands of African labourers live every day. Labourers who are exploited by an economy held by the 'Ndrangheta mafia power. For a moment Italians become aware of them, they are scared of them and react with violence. In a few hours the immigrants are “evacuated” from Rosarno and the problem is “solved”. But the faces and the stories of the protagonists of Rosarno's riot say things are not like that. Finding out these stories and giving them a voice are the only way to bring back to the country its own memory: the memory of those days of violence and the memory of a recent yet forgotten past of rural poverty.
