The documentary film L’incontro explores the personal aftermath of Italy’s “Years of Lead,” a period of intense political violence during the 1970s and 1980s. The narrative centers on Giorgio Bazzeca, the son of a police officer who was killed by the Red Brigades, a far-left militant organization active at the time.
Bazzeca recounts his family’s experience and his personal journey toward reconciliation. The film documents his decision to confront the history of his father’s death and examines the possibility of forgiveness in the wake of political terrorism. By focusing on the perspective of a victim’s family, the production highlights the long-term societal impact of the conflict that destabilized Italy for two decades. The project serves as a historical record of the personal trauma left by the era’s militant activities.
