"La Gente Resta" is a documentary about the Resta family and their life in Tamburi (Taranto), the most polluted district in Italy and home to ILVA, the largest steelmaking plant in Europe. The Resta brothers, Cosimo, Tonino and Giuseppe, spend their lives between the sea and their factory jobs, between fear for their health and the desire to stay where they were born.
The documentary is based on an idea by Lea Dicursi, directed by Maria Tilli, screenplay by Laura Grimaldi and is produced by Fabrica with RaiCinema. It has been selected at the 33rd edition of the Torino Film Festival, taking place in Turin from November 20 to 28, 2015.
