- Controcorrente is an entirely emission-free documentary movie produced thanks to crowdfunding by hundred supporters, most of them under 30. Controcorrente is no conventional movie production, but a project from below. It is an idea of two youngsters which became reality thanks to the web of followers, who believed in the project and in its social value and financed it. Having crossed 11 Italian regions, this documentary focuses on the most pressing environmental issues. It deals with the question of climate change and its social repercussions, both in Italy and worldwide. It is zero-impact because we calculated the documentary's Carbon Footprint - direct and indirect emissions - and we compensated for them through the planting of a woods in the province of Vercelli, which has about 200 trees. This documentary endeavors at implementing scientific divulgation and environmental education. It is designed to be a product accessible to all, primarily aimed at the new generations who hold in their hands our planet's future, not only from an environmental point of view. A zero-impact documentary - Controcorrente woods Despite our awareness towards the environment, to produce Controcorrente about 2613 kg of CO2 were emitted until now. The Carbon Footprint calculation has been realized by two students of the course in Economics of the Environment, Culture and Territory of the University of Turin. It allowed the team of Controcorrente to compensate (and over-compensate) for the emissions necessary to the movie production. Thanks to the Piedmont Region and the Po Vercellese-Alessandrina park, the 23d of March 2019 we planted the Controcorrente woods in Fontanetto Po (in the province of Vercelli), which has about 200 trees. It is therefore the first impact-zero documentary.
- This film tells the story of a small environmental miracle that occurred in the Sardinian sea. Starring Gianni Usai, who had worked at the FIAT Mirafiori factory where in the 70's he took part to the worker's protests, before returning to his home town in Sardinia to become a lobster fisherman with a challenging goal: make a living from the sea without killing it. In the following years the increasing decline of the Mediterranean fish stocks became apparent also in Sardinia, and led Usai to seek the help of the University of Cagliari to jointly design the first recovery project of the spiny lobster in the Mediterranean. This unusual partnership between science and fishing practices produced impressive results with an increase of over 550% of the lobster biomass within the protected areas. "At the end of the 90's" said Gianni Usai "we realized that we were close to the extinction of our lobsters, mainly because of trawling and also because many fishermen kept fishing baby lobsters without respecting the minimum landing size. In only a few years the catches dropped from 13 to 1 tons. We had to do something and so we tested the recovery project. Today, our fishermen are finally realizing that they can turn from predators into guardians of the sea." This documentary uses a visual language that captures the deep commitment of the fishermen that truly care about the future of our oceans and of those that depend on it.
