04/04/2013 - For one day only in movie theatres, the first documentary on the comedian who revolutionised the political world

Demagogue or revolutionary? What lies behind Beppe Grillo, the man who surprised everyone by winning the recent Italian elections? And what is his Movimento 5 Stelle party all about? Is it a simple protest movement or a true cultural revolution?

These are the questions that Tsunami Tour seeks to address. The documentary will be coming out in 17 Italian cities on Wednesday 10 April (a list of the movie theatres showing it is available on todoscontentos.it). Gianluca Santoro and Chiara Burtulo’s documentary was produced by Todos Contentos Y Yo Tambien and directed by Francesco G. Raganato.

Tsunami Tour gives an exclusive look, complete with images, on the story of an on-the-road journey following the election campaign of the Genoa-based comedian’s election tour: 40 days, 77 squares, up and down the country. An unprecedented instant-movie, which tells a first-hand story of Beppe Grillo, thanks to an exclusive interview with the man. The perspective is completed with interviews with citizens on the ground, as well as national and international analysts and journalists.

A behind the scenes look at the election campaign which changed the Italian political scene, bringing 163 completely unknown representatives and senators into the Italian parliament: an army of workers, housewives, students and retirees.
