"Civico 120" tells the tragic story of the collapse of the apartment building on Viale Giotto, which took place in Foggia on the night of November 11, 1999, claiming the lives of 67 people. Through archival footage, eyewitness testimonies, and fictional scenes, the docu-film gently and respectfully reconstructs the everyday life and broken dreams of a condominium inhabited by ordinary families — innocent victims of a corrupt and failing building system. "Civico 120" is a film made to ensure we never forget, to shed light on the truth, and to tell the story of the extraordinary strength of those who managed to rebuild their lives from the rubble.
