Matera - von der Schande Italiens zur Kulturhauptstadt (2018)

The cave town of Matera is one of the oldest continually inhabited spots in Europe. It has been notoriously famous as the shame of Italy in the 1950s on the basis of the novel "Cristo si a fermato a Eboli" by Carlo Levi. In the last few years, however, everything has changed: Matera will be European Capital of Culture in 2019. And since this decision has been made, buildings are being renovated, school classes from all over Italy are being dragged through the narrow streets, and dedicated volunteers are working on all kinds of cultural and other projects, so that Matera will remain an attractive place to live and work. A film about exceptional people in an extraordinary city.
