Can we trust the expiry dates? Not really. Most of them are rather conservative – as soon it’s manifactured, contains sugar or chemical substances, your canned food might well be fine to be eaten years after that stamp on the package.

I went after one question: is that really true, that hooliganism is a problem in Switzerland? A sad story about lies, media manipulation and fan culture in a long feature investigative documentary. Negli ultimi anni, gli “hooligans” hanno conquistato le prime pagine dei giornali svizzeri. Ma è davvero un fenomeno in aumento? L’inchiesta di Falò, realizzata fra Ticino, Basilea, San Gallo, Berna e Zurigo, raccoglie i dubbi degli esperti e dà la parola ai protagonisti. Dai tifosi alla polizia, passando per media, club e avvocati, questo documentario a tinte forti ci fa scoprire che la realtà degli stadi è complessa, ma non tutto è come viene dipinto dai resoconti dell’attualità. L’inchiesta prodotta dalla Televisione svizzera racconta l’incredibile bufala dei milioni di danneggiamenti che i tifosi provocherebbero ai treni delle Ferrovie: il portavoce smentisce le sue stesse dichiarazioni. E la polizia? Ha cercato di sequestrare la telecamera che ha realizzato questo documentario.
Summer 2005, Swiss countryside. A psychopath tortures cows, horses and pets.

After a few months, a smart police chief found the truth: all animals had died of natural causes. The psychopath was just a phantom.

Come nasce, cresce e muore una bufala mediatica.
