The film, written by Domitilla Shaula Di Pietro in collaboration with Angeli, tells the story of the challenges experienced by the 43-year-old journalist in the face of organised crime infesting the Roman coast. The journalist has continuously received threats since 2013 (she was sent an envelope containing a bullet just last April), without ever forgetting her role as a woman, mother and wife: courage and fear, solitude and solidarity, despair and enthusiasm all in the name of an openly-fought battle.

A mano disarmata is a Laser Digital Film production in collaboration with RAI Cinema.
