Film: Syndrome K
USA/Italy, 80 Minutes, 2019, Italian/English with subtitles. Rated R.

This documentary reveals, for the first time, a singular true story about a highly contagious, highly fictitious disease created by three courageous Roman Catholic doctors during the Nazi occupation of Rome to hide Jews in a Vatican-affiliated hospital. Featuring interviews with survivors and their descendants—including the 98-year-old Dr. Adriano Ossicini—narration by Golden Globe nominee Ray Liotta, archival footage, and gripping reenactments, Syndrome K presents a chilling depiction of heroism and sacrifice in the face of Nazi horror. Director: Stephen Edwards Writer: Gregory Alan Ballard
