director, and the festival has accepted it as an event.
The positive publicity also came from Michael Moore, director of the
Fahrenheit 9 / 11 that did Guzzanti
the compliments and said "I do not feel so alone." Sabina thanks "
If it were not for him and for the extraordinary success of his documentary
would have been impossible for me to convince a producer to make

"Of course - continued - now change is at least possible. We

The documentary is also an indictment of the Italian press
controlled by" directors chosen because it is protected by
this or that party: "When a country should read the

. If Berlusconi had remained in power would have stopped even
the theater, with the same
climate of fear that has spread in news and television.
The new government? "I hope Massimo D'Alema, President of the Republic
. It would be nice to make the speech later this year.
Romano Prodi not imitate him, he does my brother and we do not
stamp their feet."
