The Alien's dream

In this incredible documentary, celebrated director Alberto D'Onofrio takes on the Italian political system and reveals its shallowness.  D’Onofrio filmed for a year and turned a group of unknown street artists into political activists. The Alien’s Dream, the political movement d’Onofrio created together with them, toured the country for months, staging provocative stunts with the sole aim of attracting media coverage. As their policies and stunts became more outlandish, public support from rival politicians flooded forward simply because they were young and attracting media attention. The experiment produced astonishing results and the Alien’s Dream Movement was compared to Pussy Riot by all journalists. Many of the leading politicians welcomed the group on stage during their political campaign.  An unusual, riveting and highly entertaining take on the political game, Italian style.
