Brief synopsis
The river Tara is situated at the outskirts of the Italian port city of Taranto. “River of Good Fortune” is what people call this place ridden with legends, whose waters are said to have healing and magical powers despite its being toxic. Today, Taranto is considered one of the most polluted cities in Europe due to high levels of dioxin emissions and masses of dust emitted by a colossal steel factory, ILVA.
