DUSTUR
by Marco Santarelli, Italy 2015, 74’
Teachers and volunteers have organized a school course on the Italian Constitution in dialogue with the Arab Spring and Islamic traditions, in the library of the Dozza prison in Bologna. The participants are predominantly Muslim prisoners: some of them are very young and first-time offenders, others have behind them many years in prison. Ignazio, a religious volunteer who has lived for many years in the Middle East, keeps the ranks of the course supported by Yassine, a young Muslim cultural mediator. Out of the prison, Samad, a young Moroccan ex-convict, lives waiting for an end to the penalty that does not arrive. He is dealing with the “winters and springs” of freedom, and a life to be reconstructed within new rules. He will be the last guest of the course, back in prison for participating in the discussion and writing of an ideal constitution.
