US Surveillance in Sicily: A Glimpse into the Human Cost The documentary Valentina and the MUOSters shines an uncomfortable light on the consequences of hosting a major US military communications system in rural Sicily.
Behind the technical jargon of Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), lies a complex web of local resistance and personal struggles that threaten to upend the notion of autonomy.
At its core, the film is not just about protests against MUOS, but also about the inner turmoil faced by Valentina, a 27 year old woman trying to break free from her family's suffocating grip.
