ENDEMOL SHINE ITALY DOCUMENTS COVID-19 THROUGH THE EYES OF ITALIAN PEOPLE

Global content creator, producer and distributor announced that the team in Italy has been commissioned by Mediaset to produce a one-off special documenting the pandemic through the eyes of the Italian people.

Global content creator, producer and distributor Endemol Shine Group announced that the team in Italy has been commissioned by Mediaset to produce a one-off special documenting Covid-19 through the eyes of the Italian people, which will air on Mediaset (Italia1).

Known as “#rEsistiamo,” which is a play on words meaning “we resist and exist”, the film will give a first-hand account of life in lockdown, telling the story of the Covid-19 pandemic through videos sent from the public, filmed directly with their smartphones. The documentary will chronicle intimate and moving stories from all over Italy, from within the homes of those who have seen their daily lives turned upside down.

“#rEsistiamo” will feature stories of parents and children, grandparents and nephews, people that keep going to work and those who wait at home. There will be long-distance romances, of loves that end but also others that resist. Stories of worries, of anxieties but also of songs at the windows, games with children, stories of creativity that survives.

“We wanted to find a way to tell the unique stories from across Italy as they live through Covid-19 and the impact it has had on everyday lives. This moving and emotional film puts a spotlight on how people in Italy have dealt with the difficult challenges faced by the world at this time,"  said Leonardo Pasquinelli, CEO of Endemol Shine Italy.
