Written and narrated by JAMES McNeish with Marius Goring as DANILO DOLCI
In September of last year Danilo Dolci announced that he would fast again to compel the Italian Government to begin work on a dam near the town of Partinico in Sicily, contracts for which had been let some two years previously. For ten years he had been pointing to the sovereign need of irrigation to improve the lot of the Sicilian peasant.
James McNeish has reconstructed the story of the Partinico Dam from evidence collected on the spot last September, much of it from conversations with Dolci himself. Produced by JOE BURROUGHS
