Lettera aperta a un giornale della sera Open letter to an evening newspaper /

Hoping to shake up the complacent Italian Communist Party, a group of leftist radicals sends an incendiary letter to a major evening newspaper declaring their intention to volunteer to fight American troops in Vietnam as a political statement against the war. When the newspaper actually prints the letter, drawing public attention to the situation, the provocateurs must decide whether their commitment to the cause of peace is worth risking their lives. Fragments of the twentieth century (disc 2) is a 110-minute documentary of filmmaker Franco Maselli overview of Italian history featuring interviews with Virna Lisi and Claudia Cardinale.
