On July 19–21, 2001, over 200,000 people took to the streets of Genoa to protest against the ongoing G8 summit.

He interviews blue-collar workers, intellectuals, college students, rural farmers, the bourgeoisie, and every other kind of people, painting a vivid portrait of a rapidly-industrializing Italy, hanging between modernity and tradition — toward both of which Pasolini shows equal distrust.
