Operation Husky
Operation Husky – Directed by Max Fraser, Canada, 53′, 2015
The film explores the bonds of friendship that form among people who have never met as they undertake an arduous journey: a trek 300 kilometers through the mountains of Sicily in the hottest month of the year. They have one thing in common — a determination to honour the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers during WW2 by reclaiming lost history. Some walk in the footsteps of their fathers, seeking to learn something important that their dads never talked about. Most know they don’t have what it takes physically to complete the journey, but are determined to try. They are part of Operation Husky 2013 – an unprecedented series of commemorative events that take place on the 70th anniversary of the Operation Husky in 1943. ”.
Trama
Piazza Petewawa: The Paradox è una storia canadese raccontata dalle famiglie degli italocanadesi internati durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il documentario di Rino Noto rende onore alle esperienze degli italocanadesi confinati nel campo di concentramento di Petawawa per essere ‘nemici stranieri’. Tramite interviste con personaggi di spicco come il Senatore Consiglio Di Nino e l’ex Giudice della Corte Suprema del Canada Frank Iacobucci, il documentario presenta il contesto di una pagina vergognosa della storia canadese.

Résumé

Selon les lignes directrices de la Loi sur les mesures de guerre, la GRC ont reçu la liberté d’arrêter toute personne ayant des liens avec une nation Axis sans preuve de la menace, la déloyauté, ou de subversion pour notre gouvernement. Sur 150.000 qui ont immigré et sont nés au Canada, 30.000 Italo-Canadiens ont été répertoriés comme «étrangers ennemis» et plus de 700 ont été internés dans des camps. Certains hommes internés avaient des fils combattant dans la guerre perdue, d’autres se sont enrôlés dans la guerre pour le Canada une fois libéré.
