The Hidden Truth About Sardinia
The Industrialization of Sardinia
At a family dinner, Lisa discusses how Sardinia’s fate changed in the 1960s. The arrival of Prince Aga Khan sparked interest in developing the island, but soon, politicians intervened and introduced heavy industry, including petrochemical refineries.
The Military’s Presence on the Island
Lisa’s investigation leads her to uncover the massive presence of NATO military bases in Sardinia. After World War II, Italy signed an agreement allowing NATO to establish over 100 military areas across the country. These military activities have left a devastating impact on the land, people, and environment.
In Porto Pino dunes, where Lisa and her brother once played as children, highly toxic depleted uranium is now found beneath the surface. Unexploded bombs and missiles remain hidden under Sardinia’s beautiful white sandy beaches, posing an ongoing danger.
The Environmental and Human Cost
The documentary sheds light on the severe environmental and health consequences of military activities in Sardinia. Dr. Antonietta Gatti, a nanoparticle scientist, confirms that when bombs explode, they release toxic nanoparticles that pollute the air, soil, and water.
This contamination has led to increased health risks for local communities, with evidence showing that residents have been exposed to dangerous toxins for decades.
The “Balentes” – Sardinia’s Brave Fighters
Sardinia has a long history of colonization and exploitation, and the local population continues to fight for their rights. The term “Balentes” refers to a group of courageous individuals who successfully stopped the construction of a new military base in their town.
These activists and community defenders stand against the exploitation and destruction of their homeland. Their fight is not just about protecting the land but also about preserving their cultural identity and future.

Balentes – The Brave Ones is more than just a documentary; it is a wake-up call to the world. Lisa Camillo not only uncovers shocking truths but also inspires people to stand up, resist, and demand change.
