Sicilia e Anfe a Marcinelle

I. I.

Due giornate per riflettere su Marcinelle in Belgio con la Sicilia, terra di emigrazione di ieri e di oggi grazie all'ANFE (l'associazione delle famiglie degli emigrati). Sulla memoria della immane tragedia in cui l'8 agosto 1956 hanno perso la vita 262 minatori - 136 erano italiani – continua infatti l’intenso lavoro portato avanti dall’ANFE. E’ prevista quindi una maratona di eventi che culminerà con la proiezione di due film. “Pane e pregiudizio. 65 anni dell’Anfe per i migranti” (durata 40 min.) di Giovanna Taviani e “Dallo zolfo al carbone” di Luca Vullo.
