Focusing on Italy's transformation into a destination for millions of immigrants, the book examines the sociopolitical anxieties reflected in over 30 films produced since 1990. Áine O'Healy delves into themes such as post-communist migrations, migrant labor, and the impact of Italy's colonial past. By analyzing narrative strategies and filmmaking practices, she highlights how both Italian and migrant filmmakers are reshaping perceptions of Italian society and redefining national borders in a global context.
