The Jungle The Jungle

Cristian Natoli / Italy / 2021 / 75 min

On a river bank in Gorizia, Italy, an encampment of migrants emerged, a jungle, a place suspended between cultures. Through the eyes of charismatic theatre director Elisa Menon we will discover this community through a very intimate and evocative theatre performance that draws attention to the present migration in an empathic and unusual way. This unique film focuses on the creation of connections between people, rather than on their differences.
