Viva Zapatero!
80mins/ 2005/ It/ Dir. Sabina Guzzanti
An outrageously funny and revealing documentary about one woman’s refusal to be silenced.
In 2003 Berlusconi censored then later canceled Italian satirist Guzzanti’s popular late night show, RAIot, as it openly criticised the Berlusconi media empire. The comedienne refused to be silenced and instead generated a mini-revolution, shedding light on the un-European censorship laws imposed on the country’s freedom of speech.
‘Guzzanti deserves every prize going for this eye-opener of a documentary.’ The Guardian
