Directed by Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival winner Michele Soavi and starring Raoul Bova (Alien vs. Predator), Political Target was made for the Italian Television Network and first aired in Italy in 2006 on Channel 5. Political Target tells the tense, true story of how Italian investigators attempted to take down one of the most feared militant organisations Italy had ever seen, the Red Brigade. This is a must-see series for crime drama fans as well as those who enjoy realistic accounts of police investigations into terrorist organisations. The series captures... the horror and trauma felt across Italy when the feared Red Brigade returned after an 11-year absence, and once again began a series of violent murders across the country. Political Target dissects the composition of the new Red Brigade, whose members appear to be normal, conventional individuals, unlikely to be leading double lives. The drama also shows the impact of the murders on families of the victims, including professors D'Antona and Biagi, and police superintendent Petri. The series also presents the investigators working on the case, struggling for any information on the elusive Red Brigade that will deliver a significant blow to the newly reformed terrorist organisation. Political Target is a fascinating re-telling of a dark era in Italy's history, exploring the ups and downs of Italy's war against terrorism in realistic detail. It is vitally relevant today as Europe continues to battle against terrorism. [show more]
