here is an almost electric energy in how Oriana Fallaci is portrayed in the new Rai television series. Her writing, her sharp gaze, her relentless dismantling of the powerful with surgical precision – everything about her embodies conflict, passion, and ruthless intelligence. Miss Fallaci doesn’t merely recount her biography; it seeks to step inside her mind, capturing the tension of a life lived on the edge, balancing journalism and activism, words and action.

The direction moves between authentic settings and meticulous details. Objects, environments, and furnishings evoke the era’s spirit: smoke-filled newsrooms, the clatter of typewriters, switchboards buzzing with voices, and the incessant ringing of Bakelite phones. Yet it is the protagonist’s gaze that guides it all – a woman always in the wrong place for those wishing to categorize her, but always in the right place to tell the truth.
