SYNOPSIS
The main characters of this story are four friends, intellectuals, musicians, trade unionists, and African cultural mediators who have been fighting for years for the immigrants rights in our Country, but also to make know their culture to Italians. Theodore Ndjock Ngan, Emejuru Steve Martin Congo, Justin World, they have been living in Italy for over 30 years, but their work is hardly recognized by the Italian society. It is during the early Seventies, when they arrive in Rome as students. They live in the indifference of a different Rome, who lives a busy season of political struggles and where foreigners are not yet called “vu cumprà” or “non-EU”.
