INVESTIGATION CURRENT AFFAIRS
On 16th October 2017, a car
bomb kills Daphne Caruana
Galicia, 53 years old. She is the
most prominent investigati-
ve journalist in Malta and the
free voice that, for the past 10
years, had been running her
own successful blog “Running
Commentary”, unraveling the
network of political corruption
on the island. Through inter-
views to witnesses speaking
for the first time and unedited
original clips and photographs,
this documentary film tells
who Daphne was and who was
afraid of her voice, investigating
the reasons behind a political
murder whose instigators are
still in the shadows.

DAPHNE - THE EXECUTION
For the first time a documen-
tary tells the fulminating rise
to power of indian prime Mi-
nister Narendra Modi. Born in
one of the humblest castes of
Indian society, he was elected
in 2014, when the so-called
“revolution of the smart pho-
nes” granted him a massive
support by the generation of
digital natives. But a charisma-
tic leadership and a smart use
of social media are just one side
of the success of the man who
promised to turn India into the
third world’s economy by 2030.
Modi’s membership to RSS, the
paramilitary organization vo-
ted to the Hindu supremacy on
the other religions and ethnic
groups, also plays a key role in
understanding Modi’s plans for
the country we still call “the
world’s largest democracy”. He
will run again for a new term
in 2019, and will likely be re-e-
lected.
