GLADIO- NATO’S SECRET ARMY

GLADIO- NATO’S SECRET ARMY
di Andreas Pichler
Italia/UK, 2009, HD, 52′.

In the 1950s, the NATO promoted the creation of the operation Stay Behind. Andreas Pichler courageously investigates the obscure connections between the secret national armies – Gladio in Italy – and the wave of terrorist attacks that overwhelmed Europe between the 1960s and 80s: the massacre of Brabant, the bomb at the Oktoberfest and the bomb in Piazza Fontana are tragedies rooted in the collective memory and still unsolved. But why did they stay behind? Troublesome, unexpected and necessary.
