Salto di Quirra is a region of
Sardinia where Western gover-
nments have tested “new wea-
pons” for over 50 years. Through
incredible archives, the pollu-
tion investigation of a geologist
and the story of a farmer whose
profound relationship with his
land has been deeply affected by
military activities, “Dark matter”
reveals the impact of 50 years of
weapons testing at the heart of
Europe. A “horror story” set in
seemingly untouched nature.
