What happens

Red Passport (Italian: Passaporto rosso) is a 1935 Italian historical drama film directed by Guido Brignone and starring Isa Miranda, Filippo Scelzo and Ugo Ceseri. A group of Italian immigrants to South America join in a revolution. It was shot at the Cines Studios in Rome and on location at Sabaudia in Lazio. The film's sets were designed by the art director Guido Fiorini. The Italian dictator Benito Mussolini watched the film, and ordered some scenes to be altered as he felt the film was providing an example of revolutionary techniques to potential enemies of his Fascist regime.
