Happy to Be Different
Originally released in 2014. Happy to Be Different is a documentary film. directed by Gianni Amelio.
Starring Glauco Bettera, Giorgio Bongiovanni, and Ninetto Davoli
Synopsis
The film takes us on a voyage to a hidden Italy rarely addressed on film: Gay Italy as it was lived in the 20th century, from the turn of the century up to the 80s. The documentary gives voice to those who personally had to bear the weight of being "different", remembering how their lives were shaped by this situation during Fascism and in the aftermath of World War II, in an anthropologically and culturally widely diverse nation. Theirs is a mixed testimony of repression, censorship, dignity, courage, and happiness, making way for the final image of a world - our world - that still has a long way to go towards respect and liberty for everyone.
