The Department of Political and Social Sciences at Scuola Normale Superiore, located in Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, invites scholars and observers to critically discuss social movements in all part of the world. In the tradition of Public Sociology, the series tries to reach beyond academia and discuss the dynamics of social movements with a broader
public.

On May 16, we will screen the documentary ‘IUVENTA’ (DE, IT 2018). Director Michele Cinque followed a team of young activists during their search and rescue missions in the central Mediterranean. He intimately captures their motivations, doubts and the various kinds of opposition they encounter.

The screening will be followed by a debate with the director and Charles Heller from Forensic Oceanography at University of London, who has extensively worked on solidarity and its contestation at sea.
