Documentary criticizing PM Berlusconi presented in Cannes Film Festival

A documentary criticizing Prime Minister (PM) Silvio Berlusconi's response to a deadly earthquake last year has been presented in the Cannes Film Festival.The documentary, by comedian Sabina Guzzanti, is called Draquila revolves on the poor handling by Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi of the situation in L'Aquila, the city in central Italy where more than 300 people were killed in the April 2009 quake. Guzzanti tried to critically portray the devastation of the medieval city and investigate the government's rebuilding efforts in the documentary. The documentary argues that PM exploited the quake to boost his own popularity and that residents were not consulted as new houses were hurriedly built on the outskirts of the city. It also focuses on the role of the Civil Protection department, which led the rescue and reconstruction operations.
