Marching People

Marching People.

A look back, at the recent past, to march together with those who fought and defended a vital and fundamental right, today increasingly denied and debased in its ethical meaning: that of work and its dignity. Rumors of struggle, interviews, reflections boil in the fluctuating magma of archive images, to remind us that we are history. An instructive journey, between sacrifices and strikes, solidarity and battles, workers and unions, against inequalities and injustices: words and concepts not to be lost especially today, in the precarious time of the gig economy.
