The Scoundrel and His Brother

L'Infame e suo fratello

In 1980 Patrizio Peci was a leader of Red Brigades (left wing terrorist organization). His brother Roberto was a normal worker fascinated by Red Brigades' political project. When Patrizio was arrested, he started to cooperate with the State, destroying his organization. Red Brigades answered by kidnapping Roberto. They wanted to punish Patrizio so they forced Roberto to admit in front of a camera that he was the traitor and they killed him. It was the first media action made by terrorists. Ida, the sister, tried to save Roberto. After 26 years she decided to tell her story.
