What happens

Fascisti su Marte (Fascists on Mars) is a 2006 Italian film, directed by Corrado Guzzanti and Igor Skofic. Based on the sketches made by Corrado Guzzanti as part of the TV program Il caso Scafroglia (2002), this movie is a uchronia, a “satirical exercise” in historical scifi-revisionism, filmed as a pseudo-documentary and parodying the style of the Istituto Luce newsreels during the Italian Fascist regime. The film was presented at the 2006 Rome International Film Festival, and in 2007 it was nominated for a David di Donatello for Best Original Song. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
