DESCRIPTION:Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara\nThursday\, April 3 | 7:30 PMDrama | Directed by Marco Bellocchio | 2024 | Italy\, France\, Germany | Italian\, Hebrew with English subtitles | 134 minutes | Kaplan Theatre\nItalian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into his country's antisemitic past with the unsettling 1850s story of young Edgardo Mortara\, who was controversially taken from his Jewish family in Bologna after a secret baptism by the family's nanny. Bellochio's somber but visually elegant style paints a vivid picture of Edgardo's fractured identity and turn towards Catholicism\, his parents' desperate fight for his return and the corruption of Pope Pius IX's Church that led to monumental changes in Italian history. \nModerated discussion follows the film.\nTo buy tickets\, click here.&nbsp\;
