On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the first exodus of Albanians to Italy, the Italian Institute of Culture will screen the documentary “La nave dolce” (The Sweet Ship, 2012), with the participation of Ilir Butka, the producer of the documentary. Besides being the producer, Butka was also one of the many thousands Albanians who left the country during that first exodus that started in 6th of March in 1991.
The documentary, directed by Daniele Vicari, with the participation of Eva Karafili, Agron Sula, Halim Milaqi, Kledi Kadiu, Robert Budina and Eduart Cota, shows the story of the ship “Vlora”, and its journey to Bari after being loaded with twenty thousand people who wanted to leave Albania for a better life in Italy or elsewhere in the European countries. The documentary, which was released in 2012, was received with critical acclaim and shows unique footage from that period of time of Albanian history.
