After the first airing on TV of Simone's documentary, we've been blasted by your support and love for this project. We want to thank you all, with some words from himself.

"It was December 2018 when I started shooting this .
I didn't know what it would become yet, but I knew I had to interview my Grandpa Nildo as soon as possible, and I started right there. In recent years he had begun to tell me his story about him, anecdotes related to the time of the , things that the family had never talked about. And he made me read his diary, written during his captivity. I was the first to read it. I discovered an incredible world, a story that I never would have imagined.
Almost 4 years later, I am finally here to introduce you to this project, which I particularly care about: because it is a personal project that concerns my family, my heart, and the people I care about most.
It is difficult today to find the words to describe and present this documentary because my grandfather left us on August 1st, the day after the Premiere in Rome at . We didn't expect it, he was 98 years old and he was still lucid and sprightly, but he decided to leave the scene poetically; when he was sure that his story would be told.

This project was possible thanks to the help of many friends and collaborators that I will never stop thanking. I believe that you too have been inspired by Nildo. There is a piece of each of you in this film. Thank you!"

The documentary will be in rotation for the months and years to come on Channel on , so don't despair if you've been busy last Sunday. Later it will also be available on , , and Mediaset Premium.
Much love to you all from Wow Tapes.

Catalunya is a gem, a region that lies on the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, to the south of the Pyrenees mountain range. Life ebbs and flows at its own rules and rythms, scanned by the smiles of its people, by wonderful food, culture and astonishing nature and landscapes. Shot in two weeks along with the pals from Filmsnòmades Ebredrone, "Catalunya - Restart Feeling" is our latest project, and we're proud to finally share it with you all.
