Toni, My Father

Anna was 14 when her father, Toni Negri, was jailed on charges of being the secret mastermind behind the Red Brigades, the spearhead of Italian leftist terrorism. After 4 years in prison and 15 in exile, he became a world-renowned philosopher and his arrest and imprisonment just one chapter in his extraordinary life. For Anna, however, that event had a traumatic impact. Their relationship became a powerful, dramatic struggle. This is an attempt to understand the revolutionary mentality that characterised the last century, and to question the ethics of the violence and how individuals cope with defeat.
