Po

The documentary focuses on the catastrophic flood that occurred on November 14, 1951, when the left bank of the Po river broke. This disaster affected one of Italy's poorest regions, forcing thousands of men, women, and children to flee from their homes as water inundated the land for months.

Seventy years later, the film captures testimonies from those who were children during the flood, connecting past memories to archival films preserved by the Istituto Luce. By showcasing these historical accounts, Po offers a poignant look at resilience and memory. This documentary is a valuable addition for collectors interested in historical narratives and Italian cinema.
