The Good Remedy
The Good Remedy is my art video that talks about the uprooting of old olive trees in Puglia. The reason for this plant destruction comes from the Xylella Fastidiosa bacteria that attacks the olive trees and gas pipelines which lead to Puglia. In place of the ancient olive trees, it is feared that condominuims and villas will be built. The best remedy is for all boys and girls to plant new, young olive trees.
This film was made in various areas in Puglia.
The music was composed by DTM Production and the words were written by Riccardo Maffioli and translated by Europainlingua, Conversano.
This is the text:
The Good Remedy
In my dreams I see ancient olive trees casting shade on the red land where children play
In my dreams I see ancient olive trees cradling birds on branches
In my dreams I see ancient olive trees telling stories to the flowers
In my dreams I see ancient olive trees reflecting the sun on your hair
In my dreams I see ancient olive trees weeping their brothers taken from the land
In my dreams I see ancient olive trees sadly watching the surrounding cement
In my dreams I see a good remedy: girls and boys planting young olive trees
