An Italian documentary to inspire unity

E. Nina Rothe of the Huffington Post speaks to filmmaker Jacopo de Bertoldi about his documentary titled This Is Not Cricket, which sheds light on the bond between two boys - one Italian and one Indian. The documentary also portrays how sport can break barriers and inspire an united Italy.

This is Not Cricket tells the story of two friends, an Italian boy and an Indian one teaming up together to rebuild their club, which used to be the strongest youth team in Italy before its collapse due to social and cultural issues. The Piazza Vittorio Cricket Club had strong political visions. They sympathized with anarchy and fought fascism of all sorts. I believe Fernando and Shince [the leading characters in the documentary] will hold the same political spirit and show everybody how sport can change life and, why not, society.
