Filming has begun in Samatzai for the film by Claudio Cugusi and Marco Melis which aims to shine a spotlight on the incidence of tumor diseases highlighted in the towns of Lower Campidano from the Seventies until 2015.

Behind the camera is Senorbì photographer Marco Melis , who has several film directions to his credit (his award-winning "Cicytella", inspired by a story by Grazia Deledda and performed by third-grade children from Guamaggiore). The goal is to present the work in various festivals around Sardinia and Italy. «It is a small investigative work carried out thanks to the many courageous testimonies of cancer victims», says the Sardinian journalist Claudio Cugusi, creator of the work.

The initiative runs in parallel to the environmental disaster trial underway at the Court of Cagliari , after a citizen, Omar Cabua, fell ill with cancer and is asking for justice through his lawyer Pierandrea Setzu. Hence the judicial investigation, entrusted to the public prosecutor Giangiacomo Pilia, which highlighted a huge illegal landfill in Samatzai. The protagonists of the documentary film are the victims and their relatives.
