“From Sulphur to Coal” is a documentary about the migration consequent to the Italo – Belgian Agreement in 1946 which brought to a forced migration of thousands of Sicilian miners and farmers to coal mines in Belgium.

 

It is a socio-historical picture that Luca Vullo depicts by going over the most important stages which led thousands of young Sicilians to slavery: unemployment, migration, exploitation, lack of safety at work, integration and loss of their own identity. Topical issues that this young director makes us experience through his journey in the bowels of the earth, looking back to the past when the Italians sold by their own Country for a sack of coal became black demons, prisoners in the hell of mines where darkness gets more and more oppressive and silence stuns your thoughts.
