Caffè Italia Montréal

CAFFÈ ITALIA MONTRÉAL is a docudrama about the Italian community in Montreal, Quebec. The narrative traces this ethnic contingent from the turn-of-the-century immigrant era to modern times. The most intriguing sequences involve the incipient Fascist movement amongst Montreal Italians of the 1930s, and the means by which these pro-Mussolinites were squelched by the Canadian government. Many of these Italian immigrants in Montreal find it difficult to reconcile their nostalgia for their country.
