Giulio Regeni: All The Evil In The World

No LGBTQ+ characters appear or are identified. The documentary concentrates solely on the investigation into Giulio Regeni’s death, leaving queer identities entirely absent from its frame.

Women serve as pivotal figures, notably his mother and lawyer Alessandra Ballerini, who propel the inquiry forward. Men dominate the narrative of violence and authority, including his father and the perpetrators.

The primary subjects are Italian, with the film anchored in the family’s perspective. Egyptian characters populate the setting and act as perpetrators, yet they remain peripheral to the emotional core.

The film depicts a foreign dictatorship as brutal and unjust, emphasizing institutional failure to protect a student. It frames the regime’s actions as systemic evil rather than nuanced political dynamics.

No characters with physical or mental disabilities appear. The narrative focuses on the trauma of torture and the subsequent legal struggle, without integrating disability perspectives.
