Le White

Carlo Feltrinelli street, southern-east outskirts of Milan. In between Tangenziale Est and an archery field are "Le case bianche", the so-called "White", council houses, built in 1986 and inhabited by 150 families. The are called "White" because white is the color of the asbestos panels of which they are covered. Oscar White, a rapper of Rogoredo, reports with his song "Milano Sud Est" the situation of the White: the degradation, the sick inhabitants and especially the fear of tumor of many young people. In the building live not only Oscar, but also Paolo and Elena (punks in the 80's) and Graziella, a point of reference for all the inhabitants of the building. They are the soul of a committee that in the past years has informed the inhabitants about the danger of asbestos and has conducted a long battle against various institutions with the aim of obtaining a recovery of the building.
