On March 16, 2003, Milan is once again the theater of a political murder: Dax, a young anti-fascist comrade grown up in the Milanese suburbs who was involved in the squatter scene of the neighborhood called Ticinese, was stabbed to death by three right-wing extremists. A few hours later, the comrades who arrived at the ER where he had been taken were clobbered by the police.
That night is remembered as the Milan’s Notte Nera and it marked a sign in the lives of an entire generation of young comrades, engraving in their personal and political stories the urgency of remembrance. Since then, the Dax affair has become a collective heritage, in Italy and Europe: it is a living memory that, year after year, has seen the streets of Milan filled with those who want to keep such memory alive. And all this continues to contaminate the most recent struggles.
Through the voices of friends, comrades, and Dax’s indefatigable mother, we recall together what happened that night and the political antecedents of it: we move among judicial affairs and those personal affects that twenty years later are still able to powerfully inspire new generations.
Thoughts and insights: here you can find what, for various reasons, have no place in the film, but which constitute important pieces of the collective memory around the story of the Notte Nera.
The memory of Dax has always been linked with the experience of the Volkswriterz, a Milanese crew of militant graffiti artists born after the G8 in Genoa: thanks to them, squares, streets and walls of the metropolis have been the place where take shape and color the face of Dax, its history, our struggles.
Dax’s story lives every Sunday in the experience of a football team: born in 2005 in his Rozzano, the Brigata Dax is one of the first Italian antifascist and antiracist sport experience.
After the Notte Nera, the mobilization of artists from the militant rap scene is great, playing throughout Europe in solidarity with people affected by repression for the San Paolo events.
