Our take
Released at the height of an economic boom and in the aftermath of the 1960 Genoa revolt, this influential film uses archival materials to chart the continued evolution of fascist ideologies in Italy. A powerful cry against collective amnesia, co-directed by documentary pioneer Cecilia Mangini.
