Synopsis

Viva Zapatero! is a documentary by Sabina Guzzanti telling her side of the story regarding the conflict with Silvio Berlusconi over a late-night TV political satire show broadcast on RAI-3.

The show, RAIot (a play on the name of the Italian state public TV: RAI, and the English word riot), lampooned prime minister Berlusconi. Since it wasn’t considered a satirical show, but a political one, it was cancelled after the first episode. At the 62nd Venice Film Festival, the movie received a 20-minute standing ovation.
