Kidnapped
DramaHistory
The story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy living in Bologna, Italy, who in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
VIBE
A deeply affecting historical drama that explores the devastating impact of religious dogma on a family. It's a somber, infuriating watch that lingers long after the credits roll, highlighting themes of faith and loss with quiet power.
