De Zaak Lucano plot

Domenico Lucano, former mayor of the southern Italian town of Riace, took in refugees in his abandoned village. He gave them work in the municipal services and he did not pay much attention to legal regulations. Especially when Riace became an example for other places in the area, the Italian government intervened. Lucano was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison for illegally issuing residence permits to refugees. He announced an appeal, but he has no money for a lawyer. Filmmaker Christine Pawlata followed his lawsuit.
