History cannot be written by only one pen.
SuperVideo, "mutant" hero of free communication, looks for the truth
collecting voices togheter. He collects informations, snatchs signals,

Angry and calm voices, scared or clear, passioned or disappointed.
It's the multitude that observed and animated the days of the protest of
Genoa.
