The provided review discusses Grimaldi's documentary examining leftist governments in Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Cuba and debates themes of populism, charismatic leadership and risks of authoritarian drift.

De Lorenzo's review (3/5) assesses Fulvio Grimaldi's documentary 'L'Asse del Bene. Dove la sinistra c'è', which examines leftist governments in Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Cuba. The reviewer praises the documentary's scope but warns about charismatic populism, risks of authoritarian drift, and the limits of exporting South American models to Europe. The piece urges a renewed reflection on the identity of the Italian left.

For:Readers interested in political documentaries, Italian politics, and debates on left-wing identity and populism.

 There is no doubt that, over the past decades, especially after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the transition from PCI to PDS, DS, Ulivo, PD, etc., the main fault of the Italian left has been not reflecting on itself and its identity, finding occasional and never lasting cohesion only in the face of an external enemy and unifying factor like Silvio Berlusconi.
