Fascisti su Marte, a 2006 Italian political satire

Essentially the work of popular Italian satirist Corrado Guzzanti, Fascisti su Marte (Fascists on Mars) imagines a 1939 expedition to Mars in which a group of followers of Benito Mussolini attempt to turn the Red Planet to Fascist black. Originally developed in 2002 as a skit for Italian television, Fascisti su Marte was expanded to more than 100 minutes and screened at the 2006 Rome Film Festival.
