Pugni chiusi

Pugni chiusi

2011 · Documentary

February 2009. A group of Vinyls workers on temporary layoff occupy the Asinara prison to demand the reopening of the plants and continue working. It seems like a desperate battle, an extreme protest, but little by little, the world takes notice of these men stranded on a deserted island, prisoners in an abandoned prison, and their traditional union battle becomes visible thanks to non-traditional means of struggle. After a year, the plants remain shut down and it seems that nothing has changed. In reality, everything has changed.
