Fred Kuwornu

Of "New Italians" had talked some time ago in an article in which complaining their absence in films and television. We are pleased, therefore, return to this topic to talk about a film that "you are doing," dedicated his second-generation Italians. This is jus soli 18, a docu-film directed by Fred Kuwornu , Bologna-born Ghanaian, former assistant director of a major American film as Spike Lee .
Produced in collaboration with the 'Friends of Giana Association, the Film Library of Bologna , Anolf 2G network and Together, the film tells the story of some children of immigrants, born and raised in Italy, putting his finger on the bureaucratic complications that these children face every day for the right of citizenship.
The legislative provision on young people's "second generation" in fact, allows them, if born in Italy, to apply for citizenship at the age of eighteen years, but not after the nineteenth birthday, and provided that demonstrate the continued possession of the residence permit is that the registered residence from birth to the time of acquisition of citizenship. A provision in this, that is complex, and of course it works badly, or because these "new Italians" do not have the continuity of registered residence and residence for all eighteen years, or because their parents were not legally residing at the time of birth. And the result is often a young man in Italy for eighteen years, is in danger, the body nineteenth year, of being left in his country in the position of "immigrant clandestine. "
"Among the stories that I'm picking up - says Fred - I was impressed that a guy who, for a bureaucratic error of the City (had not updated the residence, where the family had moved house and address, always within the same municipality) is still waiting to have citizenship. The law provides that the boy's family seeking citizenship must be able to demonstrate, documents in hand, ten years of uninterrupted residence in Italy " .
18 ius soli promises so as a militant film healthily, designed with the idea of \u200b\u200bpromoting cultural and legislative debate on the issue of citizenship, and as such is intended to festivals and forums industry involved, both in Italy and abroad, "civil rights", integration and interculturalism.
The film also reflects a history experienced firsthand by the same director : "For a young man of" second generation " - Fred says - it is more difficult, for example, an actor I have not yet provided ad hoc roles, in the scripts of films and TV dramas Italian. To those who have the physical traits of Asian or black skin are usually reserved for roles as an immigrant, with the African accent, even though they are very Italian. That is why I chose to make the American director and producer, just because so I could tell stories that I wanted and do it with a different look. "
It only remains to wait for the release of this film and hope for a speedy change legislation on citizenship. The casting of jus soli 18, among others, continues even in these days: "We are looking for - said Fred - boys of South American origin and a boy of Central African origin who has boxing as a hobby ".
