Oscar Mix-Up and the True Story Behind 'I, Captain'

At 1:35 AM on the last-minute news page, Teletext announced the Oscar for Best Foreign Film going to 'The Zone of Interest', thus marking the disappointment for Matteo Garrone's film 'I, Captain'. But then, at the bottom of the news, a text appears that is incredible. According to Teletext, Garrone's film, 'inspired by the life of Captain Schettino and the Costa Concordia disaster had aroused great interest and expectations'. The huge blunder immediately started circulating on social media, until the page disappeared from the Teletext site. What 'I, Captain' is Really About 'I, Captain', obviously, does not speak of the Costa Concordia shipwreck but instead tells the contemporary odyssey of Seydou and Moussa who leave Dakar to reach Europe, first crossing the dangers of the desert then the perils of the sea. In between, the horrors of detention centers in Libya. The story of 'I, Captain' was inspired by the life of Mamadou Kouassi Pil Adama. He today is a reference at the Csa at the former Canapificio of Caserta. His life is truly definable as an odyssey, fighting to escape the horrors of his home.
