Declaration

film director

“In a time of revisionism, when the Partisan men and women have been forgotten or are placed on the same level as the criminals and torturers of the Decima MAS, I felt the need to explore and recount the great contribution they made to our liberation from Nazi-Fascism. […] This is an act of gratitude and I hope the film will make people reflect on our history by offering a series of memories and thoughts about what the commitment and sacrifice of women in the Resistance represented.”
