There are so many things to love about this documentary and while I don’t want to spoil anything about the story itself, Gino Bartali and his bicycle play a heroic role that will take you by complete surprise. There are many revelations in this beautiful film about the rescue of thousands of Italian Jews during WWII. Interviews with survivors, dramatic re-enactments, narration by Isabella Rossellini – in English. It’s an uplifting story to share with your family during the holiday season.
Thanks for the film recommendation – I read the book about this man and it’s a fantastic story. He risked his life and the safety of his family to help others. His experiences training and doing Tour de France were also interesting. I’m glad to hear it’s been made into a film.
