Flora, viaggio nei ricordi di una staffetta partigiana

Flora Monti, native of Monterenzio, was the youngest partisan of the Italian resistance: she is presently ninety years old and she lives in Bologna. This documentary deals with her life as a partisan little girl on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine hills and the journey she undertook in 1944 to reach the refugee camp in Cinecittà, where she lived for seven months. Flora belonged to an anti-fascist family and the Nazis were engaged in a merciless hunt to hit whoever helped or participated in the Resistance. The Monti family was forced to run away and, together with other refugees, they joined a convoy organized by the American soldiers to take them to Rome via Florence. After the bombings, Cinecittà had become the biggest Italian refugee camp and it hosted thousands and thousands of evacuees. Flora narrates History as seen by a child, a story of suffering and terror but above all of hope, determination and liberation.
