Combined Forces Collaborative Production and the National Congress of Italian Canadians-National Capital District are proud to present the film “Gino A Child of War“; a docudrama that sheds light on the boundless hope and resilience of the human spirit amid the chaos of war. The film narrates the incredible story of Gino Farnetti, a 5 year-old boy discovered by compassionate Canadian soldiers wandering amidst the war-torn ruins of Torrice, Italy, in 1944. For the next 10 months, Gino found shelter, nourishment, and care among his Canadian guardians. A special bond formed between Gino and “Red” Lloyd Oliver, and this film portrays their remarkable relationship and the untold story that connects them.
This event will be held June 9th at the Centro Storico, 1026 Baseline Rd.
