What am I doing here
Cristina Cattaneo, fragments of ideals
S1 • E5 May 10, 2019
Crossing the sea, braving the unknown in inhumane conditions. Carrying only a few objects as reminders of their roots. A report card hidden in the folds of a young boy's jeans has become a symbol of so many broken hopes. Along with him, another 800 human beings were swallowed up by the sea in what has been described as the largest shipwreck of migrants in the Mediterranean: it was April 18, 2015, and a boat sank with its cargo of desperate people. Who are they? Where do they come from? What is their story? In the new episode of “Che ci faccio qui” (What am I doing here), Domenico Iannacone tackles the issue of the nameless dead. Cristina Cattaneo is the medical examiner who, analyzing the few traces left of those bodies, decided to restore the victims' identities in order to provide answers to hundreds of surviving families.
