The Berlusconi Show – BBC’s Documentary on Italy’s Prime Minister

Titled “The Berlusconi Show,” the documentary gives a general overview of Berlusconi’s life, career, political successes and failures, his troubles with justice, his affairs, his alleged ties with the Mafia and much more.

Enjoy.

[...] Fini shouldn’t be surprised by this behavior. Berlusconi is well known for despising any criticism, and “internal exile” is a technique that Berlusconi has used on [...]
