Sulla strada di casa is a powerful observational documentary that centers the lived experiences of undocumented migrants in Italy. It succeeds most prominently through its commitment to racial and ethnic diversity, providing a platform for Black migrants to act as agents in their own survival stories rather than passive victims. The film's strength lies in its post-colonial critique of Western institutional and capitalist structures. By framing the struggle for survival against state-mandated legality, it challenges traditional geopolitical hierarchies and the authority of the state. However, the film's scope is narrow. It lacks representation for LGBTQ+ identities and does not address disability, focusing instead on the immediate socioeconomic and ethnic dimensions of the migrant experience.
