About the Film  

 

The contributions of Italian-Americans and the Italian Partisan Forces to the Allied campaign in Italy have long been largely overlooked. The efforts initiated by the OSS, whose commitment, courage and egalitarian behavior toward partisans--including communist-led groups, created lasting relationships that changed Italian perceptions of America and laid the ground work for acceptance of western democracy. This is the story of brave men whose efforts went largely unrecognized and this website and the eventual film will tell their story.
