Paolo Civati’s first documentary film Castro won Best Italian Documentary at the Festival dei Popoli 2016.

Castro was an occupied building in Rome, Italy. A shelter for those left behind, for many people a home which none of them owned. For more than ten years it has been a chance of life for many families. More than a year in the making to reveal the everyday life of a community living in extraordinary circumstances. The documentary won the MyMovies Award, Cinemaitaliano.info – CG Entertainment Award (Home-video distribution), Imperdibili Award (Theatrical distribution).
