His documentary '18 Ius soli' deals with the stories of the many children born in Italy and who are entitled to obtain an Italian citizenship only when they turn eighteen. In Italy, the legislation regarding citizenship is based on Jus sanguinis ("the right of blood"), instead of Jus soli ("the right of the soil"), as in the United States.
- Participant:

- Cinematography, Lior Levy; editing, Sergio Ponzio; subtitles, Clarissa Botsford.
- Notes:
- Originally filmed as a documentary in 2011.
- "Jus soli (Latin: right of the soil) is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born in the territory of the related state."--Wikipedia.
