(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 19 – In August 2010 a young woman disappears in Salento. It’s Sarah Scazzi. The whole of Italy is shocked. Many hypotheses will alternate during the forty-two days of research. Hypotheses that will reveal secrets and grudges, resulting in an incredible reality show of horror and grotesque. Avetrana, the town where everything takes place, will be a real open-air set.
Sarah. The girl from Avetrana is the new Sky Original docu-series produced by Greenland and based on the book of the same name written by Flavia Piccinni and Carmine Gazzanni (Fandango Libri, 2020) which, in four episodes, reconstructs the whole story not only from the point of view judicial but also media, focusing on its spectacularization.
On Sky Documentaries from November 23 at 9.15 pm, also available on demand on NOW, the series tries to explain how Avetrana represents the case that more than any other has channeled media attention by creating a real circus for which it was no longer interested in search for truth, as much as dissecting all the most morbid aspects.
The documentary, for the first time starting from Avetrana, poses a question that touches all the news cases that have become media: how much influence can a story that pursues the macabre and the morbid in the search for truth? How much can such a “polluted” narrative affect judicial investigations? Yet it is possible that, without that media weight, even today Michele Misseri would not have found Sarah’s body.
Written by Flavia Piccinni, Carmine Gazzanni, Matteo Billi and Christian Letruria, directed by Christian Letruria, Sarah.
