Synopsis

Raccolta di ottantacinque diverse testimonianze biografiche di italiani che risiedono e lavorano all’estero, narrate in prima persona e da diretti discendenti ed espresse in tre diverse lingue: italiano, inglese, spagnolo. Un lavoro di ricerca durato quasi due anni attraverso Internet, i social network e i diversi media dedicati agli italiani nel mondo. Un documento particolare e sorprendente, che si presta a diverse chiavi di lettura, proponendosi come un testo di consultazione per la storia economica e sociale degli italiani all’estero e, al tempo, presentandosi come testo di approfondimento psicologico e d’intrattenimento, da percorrersi attraverso la narrazione delle singole vicende di vita e di lavoro ed altre storie che come scatole cinesi inevitabilmente vi si inseriscono. Racconti commoventi, divertenti, emozionanti, tanto diversi tra loro eppure accomunati dallo stesso spirito d’avventura, coraggio, determinazione che li ha animati, toccando temi quali l’emarginazione e la discriminazione, il razzismo, la difficoltà della lingua, la diversità di usi e costumi, il cibo, la geografia. Estenuanti viaggi in piroscafo, abbandoni, matrimoni celebrati per procura, ricongiungimenti familiari, ricerca di migliori condizioni di vita, fuga dalle persecuzioni razziali, viaggi della speranza, ragioni di studio e professionali, questi ed altri infiniti i motivi che nel corso di circa 300 anni di storia hanno spinto 26 milioni di italiani ad emigrare all’estero.

    Under the Trestle is the true story of the most compelling murder case in Virginia history. In 1980, beautiful Gina Renee Hall, a Radford University freshman, went to a Virginia Tech nightclub on a Saturday night. She was never seen again. Her abandoned car was found parked beneath a railroad trestle bridging the New River, with blood in the trunk. The investigation led police to a secluded cabin on Claytor Lake, where there was evidence of a violent attack. Former Virginia Tech football player Stephen Epperly was charged with murder, despite the fact that Gina's body was never found. In Virginia's "trial of the century," prosecutor Everett Shockley presented an entirely circumstantial case. Key witnesses against Epperly included his best friend, his mother, and a tracking dog handler later believed by many to be a fraud. Three former Virginia Tech football players testified, including a Hokies quarterback once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Would Epperly become the first person in Virginia history convicted of murder without the victim's body, an eyewitness, or a confession? And would authorities ever find the body of Gina Renee Hall?
