Rosy Battaglia is an Italian investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker whose work combines in-depth journalism and cinematic storytelling to expose environmental injustices and give voice to affected communities.

She is the founder of Cittadini Reattivi, a public interest journalism platform launched in 2013, focusing on the environment, health and legality. As a FOIA and open data activist, she also leads the non-profit association of the same name, which supports transparency and the right to knowledge in Italy.

In addition to her investigative work, she has developed a long-term visual narrative approach, deeply rooted in the communities she follows. Through the multimedia project Resilient Stories, he directed two crowdfunded investigative documentaries: The Revenge of Casale Monferrato (Italy, 2018, 30‘) and I'm not going to pretend nothing happened about Brescia (Italy, 2020, 51’), both focusing on communities affected by industrial contamination. The films have been selected and awarded at various national and international festivals, including CinemAmbiente.

Her upcoming film, Taranto Calling, is her third documentary investigation, also financed through grassroots support, of which she is the main co-producer. Filmed over the course of almost a decade, it explores the complex reality of one of the most polluted cities in Europe. The film also led to the creation of the European cross-border investigation Taranto, Sacrifice Zone, produced in collaboration with the investigative network CORRECTIV.Europe.

Rosy Battaglia continues to explore the intersection between narrative journalism and documentary filmmaking, using film as a tool for memory, justice and change.
