"Outlaw Gardeners - Giardinieri d'Assalto" tells the story of Italy's green guerrillas, an unauthorized movement transforming neglected urban spaces into vibrant gardens. Inspired by the 1970s Guerrilla Gardening movement from New York, these activists use plants and flowers as their weapons. Notable figures like Fante di Fiori and Piante Volanti, along with groups such as Friarielli Ribelli and Giardiniere Sovversive Romane, lead this green revolution. United in a national network, they prove that in today's world, planting a seed is the greatest act of rebellion. Outlaw Gardeners highlights their courage and determination, showing that the only war worth fighting is for the environment.
