My Country

When it comes to understanding a country, there is nothing like an insider’s view. A nation’s character – its fears, hopes and obsessions – are all reflected in the way a country reports itself to its own people.

My Country on BBC World News taps into this rich vein by showcasing documentaries made by local film-makers about their own patch.

We’ll include films about social issues, politics, current affairs investigations and observational documentaries. No one film can ever give a complete picture of a country but we hope that they’ll all offer a fresh, revealing and surprising perspective on the nation concerned.
Recently My Country has travelled to Poland and Afghanistan.

DIRITTO RIVESCO - INSIDE OU


nside a jail in Northern Italy, a group of prisoners write and perform a play denouncing the appalling conditions under which they’re forced to serve their time.
Meanwhile, the prison’s governor is struggling to make changes to the place despite a chronic lack of funds and endless impenetrable bureaucracy.

Directed by Maria Tarantino, her debut film is an exploration of power and human relationships inside an institution, where everything is defined and regulated by never-ending rules.
