Capo e croce. Le ragioni dei pastori – Heads and tails. The reasons of the shepherds
First prize “Il Faro”to the best documentary
The first prize IL FARO is assigned to a film which tells us the story of a conflict between an ancient community, which feels abandoned and misunderstood, and which fights to defend its own rights, against the authorities which adopt violent repression.

Directors’ belonging to this community and their liking for the protagonists didn’t stop them from filming with objectivity.
