Before being commissioned by RAI Cinema to create the film\, Styler had only visited Naples briefly. Nonetheless\, she appr oached the city with the same verve for humanity and storytelling that’s driven her career and allowed the narrative to develop naturally and thro ugh the perspectives of the Napolitan people. Styler roamed the city\, kno cking on doors and asking ‘Posso Entrare?’ (‘May I come in?’)\, wh ereupon the locals generously shared their lives and city with her. It was only after taking the time to listen that the focus of the documentary be came clear: to explore the on the ground work of the people in Naples who everyday are taking care of each other and their community. The documentar y aims to present Naples beyond the popular stereotypes and media represen tations\, from the perspective of a witness and investigator\, and invites its audience to see the city through the eyes of its inhabitants and to u nderstand their deep connection to their home. @trudiestyler\nDirector Tru die Styler on the streets of Naples\nAli Hassan\n\nAli Hassan is a stand-u p comedian\, actor\, author\, and broadcaster.
