The Resistance: between choice and martyrdom

The Resistance: between choice and martyrdom

Three great figures of the Italian Resistance in the mountains of Piedmont: Emanuele Artom, Jewish, Willy Jervis, Waldensian, and Leletta d’Isola, Catholic. Three distinct cultures united in the fight against fascism. Three dramatic and gripping stories which the documentary follows as they unfurl. The diaries and the letters of the three leading players are the framework for a "daily" narration. Extraordinary documents, some of them never before published, allow us to trace the story of the Resistance “as it happened”, day by day, raid by raid, sacrifice after sacrifice. Starting with the Giorgio Agosti Piedmontese Institute for the History of the Resistance and Contemporary Society (Istoreto), where most of the documentation is held, the story unfolds through places and witnesses which bring together the echoes of Emanuele Artom, Willy Jervis and Leletta d’Isola's voices, as well as through their writings, including letters to family members and pages of their diaries. The recollections and the historical and personal accounts combine to give us insight into the intensity and the immediacy of their personal experience within a wider framework of the Italian Resistance.
