Hyperlocal presents a short film directed by Alain Parroni, an intimate story created inside the Rebibbia Penitentiary Complex.

Through digital explorations of Rome’s suburban geography and the direct experiences and words of the inmates who collaborated with Hyperlocal, the film explores how this hidden neighborhood, its inhabitants, and their lives are perceived from within its walls. It is a story about those who are unseen, living in a world with different rules.
