Roberto Cannavò

Porpora is a journey on the road in the human adventure of Porpora Marcasciano, a transsexual who has lived as a protagonist in the feminist, communist and trans movements from the seventies to today. On a trip from Bologna to the south, to their hometown, they retrace an experience of battles that still lasts today with a younger travel companion. From the explosion of '77 to the crazy nights of Rome to political commitment, Porpora tells a new generation how individuality produces social change only by merging and realizing itself in multiplicity.

From her roots in Southern Italy to her landing in Bologna, the trans leader Porpora Marcasciano relives her self-discovery, from a negated identity to battles for human rights.
