  • 26 June, 2008. Denver, PA. (L-R) Henry, 16, and Christopher, 14, wait at their home farm for their parents, Jesse and Esther Martin, to come back from the Hershey Medical Center, where their little sister Marlene, 2, was hospitalized in the morning because of her Hirschsprung's disease. Jesse Martin, 49, is a Mennonite farmer who believes in self-sufficiency and opposes insurance and government aid. In recent years , Mr. Martin has paid at least $400,000 for care in two nonprofit  hospitals, Lancaster General Hospital and Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. He is now struggling to pay the remaining $287,000 he owes them. "I want to pay", Jesse Martin says, "but they have to come up with a more decent price. I can't make it. Five of my 11 children suffer from maple syrup, 3 from Hirschsprung's disease, and 2 from SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency)". Genetic disorders particularly affect Amish communities, since most of them descend from the few hundred  German-Swiss settlers who brought the Amish and Mennonite faiths to the United States in the 18th century. Marrying within an Amish community means members share large regions of genetic material, rendering them more likely to suffer from certain diseases. <br />

  • Palermo, Sicily, Italy - 25 January, 2012: Angelo Faraci, 74, is a farmer from Butera (Caltanisetta) who joined thousands of people during the demonstration organized by the Movimento dei Forconi (Pitchfork Movement), a movement of farmers, shepherds, breeders and fishermen united against the increasing prices of fuel, against corruption, political deafness, Prime Minister Monti and ECB politics. The Pitchforks Movement self-declares itself as “non-political” and “against party politcs”, while many observers have denounced the presence of far-right and neo-fascists organizations and parties within or in support of it. Calls for more indipendence from the central government go along with hopes to spread the revolt to the whole Country.  ### Palermo, Sicilia, Italia - 25 gennaio 2012: Migliaia di persone partecipano alla manifestazione organizzata dal Movimento dei Forconi, composto da agricoltori, pastori, allevatori e pescatori uniti contro  l'aumento della benzina, contro la corruzione, contro una politica assente, il Primo Ministro Mario Monti e le politiche della BCE. Il Movimento si dichiara apartitico e apolitico, benché gli osservatori hanno denunciato la presenza di movimenti di estrema destra come Forza Nuova. Il Movimento dei Forconi chiede inoltre una maggiore indipendenza della Sicilia e spera di diffondere la rivolta in tutto il paese.

  • 26 June, 2008. Hershey, PA. Jesse Martin, 49, at the Hershey Medical Center, where his daughter Marlene, 2, was hospitalized in the morning because of her Hirschsprung's disease. Jesse Martin, 49, is a Mennonite farmer who believes in self-sufficiency and opposes insurance and government aid. In recent years , Mr. Martin has paid at least $400,000 for care in two nonprofit  hospitals, Lancaster General Hospital and Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. He is now struggling to pay the remaining $287,000 he owes them. "I want to pay", Jesse Martin says, "but they have to come up with a more decent price. I can't make it. Five of my 11 children suffer from maple syrup, 3 from Hirschsprung's disease, and 2 from SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency)". Genetic disorders particularly affect Amish communities, since most of them descend from the few hundred  German-Swiss settlers who brought the Amish and Mennonite faiths to the United States in the 18th century. Marrying within an Amish community means members share large regions of genetic material, rendering them more likely to suffer from certain diseases. <br />

  • Palermo, Sicily, Italy - 25 January, 2012: Members of the separatist Movement for the Independence of Sicily protest together with  thousands of people during the demonstration organized by the Movimento dei Forconi (Pitchfork Movement), a movement of farmers, shepherds, breeders and fishermen united against the increasing prices of fuel, against corruption, political deafness, Prime Minister Monti and ECB politics. The Pitchforks Movement self-declares itself as “non-political” and “against party politcs”, while many observers have denounced the presence of far-right and neo-fascists organizations and parties within or in support of it. Calls for more indipendence from the central government go along with hopes to spread the revolt to the whole Country.  ### Palermo, Sicilia, Italia - 25 gennaio 2012: Membri del Movimento per l'Indipendenza della Sicilia partecipano con migliaia di persone alla manifestazione organizzata dal Movimento dei Forconi, composto da agricoltori, pastori, allevatori e pescatori uniti contro  l'aumento della benzina, contro la corruzione, contro una politica assente, il Primo Ministro Mario Monti e le politiche della BCE. Il Movimento si dichiara apartitico e apolitico, benché gli osservatori hanno denunciato la presenza di movimenti di estrema destra come Forza Nuova. Il Movimento dei Forconi chiede inoltre una maggiore indipendenza della Sicilia e spera di diffondere la rivolta in tutto il paese.

  • ACCIAROLI (POLLICA), ITALY - 5 OCTOBER 2016: A 1967 farmer's planner is here in the house of 93-years-old Amina Fedullo and her 100-years-old husband Antonio Vassallo in Acciaroli, a hamlet in the municipality of Pollica, Italy, on October 5th 2016. Mrs Fedullo was a farmer her entire life, while Mr Vassallo was a soldier in Italy's military forces in the Italian East Africa, the Italian colony in the Horn of Africa. They've been married for 66 years.<br />
<br />
To understand how people can live longer throughout the world, researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have teamed up with colleagues at University of Rome La Sapienza to study a group of 300 citizens, all over 100 years old, living in Acciaroli (Pollica), a remote Italian village nestled between the ocean and mountains in Cilento, southern Italy.<br />
<br />
About 1-in-60 of the area’s inhabitants are older than 90, according to the researchers. Such a concentration rivals that of other so-called blue zones, like Sardinia and Okinawa, which have unusually large percentages of very old people. In the 2010 census, about 1-in-163 Americans were 90 or older.

  • MATERA, ITALY -6 OCTOBER 2019:  Yvan Sagnet (34), a political activist and former exploited tomato farmer, is seen here performing Jesus Christ in the scene  of the crucifixion in "The New Gospel", a film by Swiss theatre director Milo Rau, in Matera, Italy, on October 6th 2019.<br />
<br />
Theatre Director Milo Rau filmed the Passion of the Christ  under the title “The New Gospel” with a cast of refugees, activists and former actors from Pasolini and Mel Gibson’s films.<br />
<br />
The role of Jesus is performed by Yvan Sagnet, a Political activist born in Cameroon and who worked on a tomato farm when in 2011 he revolted against the system of exploitation and led the first farm workers’ strike in southern Italy. In a series of public shoots in the European Capital of Culture Matera, Jesus will proclaimed the Word of God, was crucified (October 6th 2019) and finally rose from the dead in Rome, the capital of Catholic Christianity and seat of one of the most xenophobic governments in Europe (October 10th 2019).<br />
 <br />
Parallel to the film, the humanistic message of the New Testament was transformed into the present: at the beginning of September, the campaign “Rivolta della Dignità” (Revolt of Dignity), which demanded fair working and living conditions     for refugees, global freedom of travel and civil rights for all, started with a march from the southern Italian refugee camps. “It’s about putting Jesus on his feet,” director Milo Rau said. Led by Jesus actor Yvan Sagnet, the campaign fights for the rights of migrants who came to Europe via the Mediterranean to be enslaved by the Mafia in the tomato fields of southern Italy and to live in ghettos under inhumane conditions. The campaign and the film thus create a “New Gospel” for the 21st century, a manifesto of solidarity with the poorest, a revolt for a more just and humane world.
