action

Episode 1. Directed by Nelo Risi - Documentation of the worldwide politically motivated events from 1968 to 1969, beginning with the Vietnam War, through the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, to the death of Giuseppe Pinelli in Milan.

Episode 2. Directed by Elio Petri - ( Tre Ipotesi Sulla Morte dell'Anarchco Giuseppe Pinelli ) In three versions (hypotheses) the scene in the police building is re-enacted during which Giuseppe Pinelli died. Four men play the policemen and one the arrested Pinelli. What all the scenes have in common is that they cannot find a conclusive approach as to how Pinelli could have managed to jump out of the window while being guarded, which is why in the third version they throw him out of the window together and portray it as suicide.

Episode 3. Directed by Nelo Risi - Documentation about Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli and his activities. Friends, political comrades-in-arms and other contemporary witnesses have their say, reflecting a complex picture of Pinelli's personality.

background

On the occasion of the political events in Italy at the end of the 1960s, which came to a head with the bombing of Milan, in which 16 people died, and the subsequent wave of arrests on December 12, 1969, as a result of which Giuseppe Pinelli died on December 15, 1969 , Elio Petri and Nino Risi understood their film as a manifesto against what, from their point of view, was a concrete danger of a renewed dictatorship in Italy. Accordingly, the film was signed by directors and screenwriters who will be featured in the credits, including Bernardo Bertolucci , Sergio Corbucci , Damiano Damiani , Giuseppe De Santis , Mario Monicelli , Pier Paolo Pasolini , Francesco Rosi , Ettore Scola , Luchino Visconti and Valerio Zurlini . In 1972 Pasolini shot the film 12 Decembre with other colleagues on the same subject .
