There was more than one decisive moment that pushed me to continue this research. It was long and intense. It developed on various fronts, I worked in the field trying to follow an “anthropological” approach while certainly not being an anthropologist, this means that I spent a lot of time with the local communities of Barbagia in central Sardinia trying to understand the territory and the relationships between these communities, the history of the place and the present environment and connect everything to the kidnapping phenomenon. These shots are both documentation of the territory, of the people but also of the set-up scenes (staged) that want to tell the stories by creating suggestions. On the other hand, there was the research on the archives, as I worked in the RAI Sardinia offices where I had the opportunity to view the original documentation footages of the abductions and the following trials and patrols. By original footage meaning the inclusion of all the cut parts that the public doesn’t have access to, this was a privilege in this sense. In addition to the historical RAI archives, I also worked partly on my family’s archives to try to bring to light what happened to me in the period in which Farouk Kassam was abducted, in the period of my childhood, but also the period of my adolescence when the murder of Luisa Manfredi took place. In any case, even though there were several decisive moments, the very important one was the meeting with Farouk, the young kidnapped whose memory of his abduction started the project and the meeting with his kidnapper Matteo Boe in Barbagia.
