What happens
The Great Appeal (Italian: Il Grande appello) is a 1936 Italian war film directed by Mario Camerini and starring Camillo Pilotto, Roberto Villa and Lina d'Acosta. It is sometimes known by the alternative title The Last Roll-Call. Camerini was considered to have no sympathies with the Fascist regime regime of Italy, but he made this propaganda film that endorsed the colonial policies of the Italian government. It was one of a number of African-set films made during the Fascist era including The White Squadron (1936), Sentinels of Bronze (1937) and Luciano Serra, Pilot (1938). The film portrays the rediscovery of his patriotism of an Italian, who eventually dies for his country. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
