Reserve Slaves (Schiavi di Riserva) 2018 (30 min.) Italy
Directed by Michelangelo Severgnini
The result of the U.S./European attack on Libya has been the restoration of slavery. Europe and the U.S. caused it, allows it, and benefits from it, according to Severgini’s film Reserve Slaves. In case of need, the “E.U. has its own reserve slaves just overseas,” a message delivered to us by 3 African men who just landed in Sicily, after having crossed the desert and the sea, and especially after having served as slaves in Libya. This film shows the real stories behind the rise of slavery and the result of the U.S. and European war machine. There will also be a short statement from the director.
