Prof. Moshe Zimmermann (in Heb.) on the roots and history of fascism

Italy 2022 | 98 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

In 1922, the Fascist Movement organized a march from Napoli to Rome that ended with the displacement of the prime minister and the appointment of Mussolini in his place. This event marked the ascent of fascism in Italy. Mark Cousins analysis the March and how it was captured and depicted by a propaganda film that gave fascism its public support. Even today, propaganda and lies are an effective fuel for manipulating public opinion, and Cousins explores how these historical tools continue to operate today.
