The 1978 kidnapping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro by Red Brigades terrorists. In the late 70s, Italy is torn apart by a war: in the history of a Western country, the first government supported by a Communist Party (PCI) is about to take office in an epoch-making alliance with the Nation's traditional bastion of conservatism, the Christian Democrats (DC). Aldo Moro, President of the DC, is the main proponent of this accord. On the very same day of the swearing ceremony of this new government formation, March 16, 1978, Moro is kidnapped in an ambush that leaves his entire police escort dead on the street. Moro's imprisonment will last 55 days: 55 days of hope, fear, negotiation, failure, good intentions and wicked acts. 55 days ending with his corpse abandoned inside a car in the center of Rome, exactly half way between the headquarters of the DC and the PCI.

Who Killed Pasolini? is a riveting crime drama that delves into the unsolved murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini, a celebrated Italian film director. Set in Italy during the tumultuous 1970s, the movie examines the complex web of conspiracy, corruption, and political intrigue surrounding his death. Through interviews, investigation, and archive footage, the film reveals the various theories and individuals involved in the case, uncovering the dark underbelly of Italian society at the time.

The dramatic and scandalous life of the variously renowned and reviled poet, screenwriter and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) is reportedly poorly served in this highly allegorical and intellectual film which focuses rather more on his poetic and intellectual contributions to Italian Marxism than anyone except a highly intellectual Italian Marxist could possibly want to know. This is hardly surprising, given that the neophyte director of this film has a day job as an assistant professor of "the sociology of conscience." Pasolini, who at one point was convicted of the crime of "offending the religion of the (Italian) state" (Catholicism), later received the Grand Prize from the Catholic Film Office for his straightforward and stunning film of Il Vangelo Secundo Matteo (The Gospel According to St. Matthew).
