In October 2026, new cinematic releases focus on themes of justice and media influence. The film ‘Zustìssia’, directed by Francesco Piras, dramatizes the case of Beniamino Zuncheddu, a Sardinian shepherd who served thirty-three years in prison for a crime he did not commit. The production, a collaboration involving Netflix and Rai Cinema, follows lawyer Mauro Trogu as he investigates the procedural errors behind Zuncheddu’s 1991 wrongful life sentence.

Following its initial announcement, ‘Zustìssia’ is scheduled for a screening at the Cinema Teatro Comunale di Catanzaro from October 15 to October 21, 2026. The event includes a scheduled debate on October 17 with members of the Camera Penale di Catanzaro to examine the legal implications and personal consequences of judicial errors.
