“From Faenza, to Forlì, to Conselice, from Bologna to Rastignano, many are the places touched by the documentary, which in 90 minutes gives voice to locals, but also to ongoing environmental disputes.”

"Romagna Tropicale. Exactly one year after the May 2023 floods, a documentary by Pascal Bernhardt."
