Roberto Saviano returns to TV: 'False neutrality is the worst thing. I choose which side to stand on'
Roberto Saviano is launching a new TV program titled 'La giusta distanza' on La7, beginning March 11, which aims to explore the intersections of crime, legality, power, and memory.
Roberto Saviano, the Italian author known for his work on organized crime, is set to debut a new television program titled 'La giusta distanza' on the network La7 starting March 11. The show will consist of six episodes that delve into the nuanced narratives of distant lives that overlap and influence each other, particularly in the context of crime and legality. This program aims to provide a platform for discussions surrounding important societal themes and issues of justice.
In an interview, Saviano emphasized his stance against 'false neutrality,' asserting that one must take a definitive position when it comes to matters of morality and justice. He expressed the importance of actively engaging in social discourses rather than adopting a passive approach to complex issues that affect society. Saviano's remarks highlight a broader critique of the current media landscape, where neutrality can sometimes serve as a barrier to addressing pressing societal challenges.
The show's premiere will feature a guest appearance by notable journalist Corrado Augias on the program 'La Torre di Babele.' As Saviano continues to draw attention to critical topics through his work, 'La giusta distanza' is expected to spark conversations around the responsibilities of individuals and media in shaping public perception and fostering a more informed society.
