L'unione falla forse

March 2018 •Italian

L'unione falla forse is a documentary film that intertwines the life of homogenitorial families with the bizarre theories of anti-LGBT exponents, in a single story. Two absolutely distant and distinct worlds that needed to be confronted directly, due to the exponential growth of proLife extremist Catholic movements and their political ascent, thanks to the exploit of the right-wing parties that welcomed them into their row (the Fontana family minister and Senator Pillon, both members of the Family Day, are a clear example). But also because of the growing need for legal recognition that homogenitorial families are clamoring for, to which sometimes only the magistracy grants approval, due to the gaps in the law on civil unions of 2016 caused by the cutting of the Stepchild Adoption and the obligation of loyalty among the partners. The result is a desecrating mix between the silent normality of these families and the bawling madness of their protesters.

The investigators claimed the arrests were just the tip of the iceberg-they said hundreds of boys were being abused as part of a child sex ring. There was no such ring, but the result was a widespread investigation which some people consider a witch hunt. By the time the investigation ended, 16 men were charged. Countless other lives were also touched.In some cases, men implicated fled the area. At least one actually left the country. The investigation attracted attention in newspapers across the nation, including Time Magazine. The "Morals Drive" left scars which remain to this day.
