An end title informs us that he was one of 176 detainees to die that year – but unlike the vast majority, Cucchi’s case became a national scandal thanks to his family’s fight for justice and the strong suspicion that police brutality on the night of his detention may have played a role in his demise (a trial involving five Rome Carabinieri is still grinding through the Italian court system). Small-time drug dealer Stefano Cucchi died in a Rome prison hospital on 22 October 2009.

100mins.īased on a death-in-custody case that is still making waves in Italy almost nine years on, On My Skin is a relentless ’j’accuse’ drama anchored by a fine central performance by Alessandro Borghi, capitalising on his attention-grabbing turn in both the movie and TV versions of Roman underworld drama Suburra.
