  • "La Porta Dell’Inferno delicately educates the audience about the harsh reality of sulfur mining and its application in 1950s Italy, interweaving this with personal stories and images that shed light on the individuals behind the work. "

  • "The Caruso is the first link in the chain as the work of a sulfur worker was learned by entering the mine as a Caruso. The docu-film The Gate of Hell should remind all of us that even today, in many parts of the world, Carusi live subjected to the same slavery"
