Summary: From case cover: 18 Ius Soli (the right of soil) it's a 50'-2012 Award winning grassroots Italian documentary about the issue of the citizenship for 1,000,000 of kids born in Italy. Officially selected at Black Berlin International Cinema. This documentary "examines" the law that denies citizenship to young people born in Italy of immigrant parents, because they have no Italian blood. It follows 18 stories of girls and boys born and raised in Italy whose parents are originally from African, Asian, and South American countries who moved to and have long-lived in different areas of Italy. They are children of immigrants: go to school in Italy, speak the language and dialects, have never ever been to the coutries that their parents are from, nor do they speak their parents' language. Yet they are not recognized Italian citizens. To obtain the Italian citizenship, they have to go through a lengthy and complicated application process and can only do so after they've turned 18 years old – a process that doesn't always end positively for the applicant, resulting in serious and unavoidable problems of social inclusion and identity. There are presently 1,000,000 of young people who were born in Italy, speak Italian fluently, have studied in Italian schools and have lived in Italy all their lives, yet, they are not entitled to Italian citizenship. It is a reality lived by Italian soccer champion Mario Balotelli and countless others.
