@@deepyamandas1192 Never wish death upon anyone, for they were following orders... and orders are enough to torture a man. Here's some advice. We must worry about our own backs, for it's more important than any. You act on emotions, never act on it, act on mental capacity, it's what was left of this world. No veteran would wish death upon them, even after they slaughtered each other for years, peace was a thing... it was.
I am half Italian and I am Jewish, god bless every single life lost, I am very glad I came upon this film as I am very interested in ww 2 my relatives and to pray for those who fought and those who were murdered at this time ❤️🙏🏼
I cannot believe this is the work of just students, and that too with limited amount of resources and funding. This is one of the most beautifully done and directed short movie on the struggles of people behind enemy lines during WWII, I've ever seen. I wish I could, in-person congratulate and appreciate every person who has contributed to making this movie.
My grandpa was 11 during the war and my grandma 5, before they would get married, 18 years later. The 2 families shared a radio together to tune into the dutch queen's radio transmissions to stay strong, they both played outside and on liberation day they shared candies the soldiers handed out. Its a small world we live in :)
My grandfather was in the Netherlands shortly after they were liberated. He made friends with a Dutch cobbler who made my mother, who was a baby at the time, her first pair of shoes. Heartfelt greetings from England.
My grandfather went to Normandy, then he want South of Italy going up to Germany. He saw some Italians helping these men before they gave them weapons and clothing. He was a kind man and tried to do everything he can. He never killed anyone, his confirmed kills are 0. 1921-2014

My great-grandfather fought on the eastern front for 3 years. He survived and told the story to my mom. This almost made me cry but made me feel sad. Too many people died protecting us. May they rest in peace
Those Italians are just too nice. I think that war really made them see the value of other people which was shown through their hospitality towards the prisoners. Edit: damn it was sad when they died. I did not see that coming.
It’s so sad that they have to die they are just nice people germans where greedy for land but Why you have to kill a wonderful little girl and a lifeless farmer it so sad

My great grandpa was a tank platoon leader in WW2. He defended Odessa, Ukraine when the Germans where attacking. He served until the siege of Berlin and got awarded the red star for his contribution.
I remember those days my great grandfather told me all about him getting saved he died at the age of 96 due to a disease i salute him he will always be in my heart
What a beautiful film... love, and mercy. Hate and war. Stand, and know the truth or be told lies.. the saviors of the 2 world war - thank you. My grandfather would have thank you dearly.
I'm Italian and i live in Italy. Just yesterday me and my grandmother were talking about the time of WW2 in Italy. At that time she was a child, but she remembers very well that her family many times helped italian partisans offering them foods and places in their home where they could rest and sleep. One day while her family (that are of course mine relatives) were hosting two partisans, nazists came searching for them. Fortunately they succeeded in hiding the two partisans men inside the barn, where they were laying down under a layer of hay on the first floor. Just imagine what could have happened if nazists would had found what her family were doing... all of them would have been instantly shot for helping "enemies of the nations". I will be always proud of my relatives, that risked their life to save people that were fighting from the inside in order to rebel and go against the Nazi-fascist oppressive regime, carrying the unceasing hope of a free Italy.
The bishops, priests, monks, friars and nuns, but also simple men and women, Italian Catholics have done the same! They did it also because Pope Pius XII asked them to give help to anyone (Jewish or not) who fled or was wanted by the Nazi-Fascists! Many of them have paid for these acts of love towards their neighbor with their lives, they are "martyrs of charity"! 👍🏻😉

Noo the italiens 😔 thx for the people that helped the italien birtish belgium france every hostage the italiens where great to keep it up nice but sad story
Great short film ! My Dad was a Partisan in north west Italy in WW2 . He told me a story about an American fighter pilot who bellied in when his P-47 was shot down in October 1944 . He made it back to his lines in February 1945 with the help of Italian citizens and the Partisans . I found out who the pilot was in 2006 and contacted him .He was grateful of a particular family you kept him hidden in Tosca Italy .
It is sad to say that such kind of German, especially the members of the SS soldiers, committing war crimes were not convicted in the war crime trials in Europe after the war. A handful of these criminals were convicted. In the name of unity in Western Bloc against the Communist regimes led by Soviet Union, most of the minor cases of war crimes in Europe were dismissed, and most of the accused were acquitted.
satoshi ara what this guy writes order is order or better Befehl ist Befehl is old excuse of nazi for committing war crimes.Therefore in actual German army( Bundeswehr) is right to denounce to follow order which should be criminal.
Jurgen Judzinski no, he physically can’t do nothing against it since there orders from the third Reich, he has to do it or else him and his family will get hunged
Thank you to the crew to let the people know these stories. All MUST remember what happened to avoid to repeat same mistakes. ALL of us. In EVERY gesture we do. ALL days. Grazie ancora, da un Italiano.
Both my grandparents fought in the war. One was at Normandy and the other was in the Navy. Im so proud of both of them. Long live the greatest generation
An amazing film. It completely blew me away. It is reassuring to know that young talented directors are carrying the flame. Thank you for this masterpiece and good luck!
@@zakjarvis8998 If you fancy a giggle, please watch Wartime, World War II in Europe. It was posted yesterday and made me laugh very much. What I love about your offering is that it is both personal and relevant. It deals with real people. My grandfather was a WWII veteran. He was an intelligent and sensitive person. He would have loved your film and found the "rockyisation" of an event which cost millions of lives distasteful to the extreme. Wars are not a game. They actually destroy people. You were on a budget, granted. But you were good, accurate and real. Please ignore the negativity (e.g. "The uniforms should have been hidden"). That is precisely what makes the richness of your film. You were aware that you were dealing with people who were not born soldiers and were just trying to help. Take pride, Zak, in being a sensitive human being. Again, well done!
Great job guys! The italian accent of the "contadini" is funny for me (I'm italian) but the italian phrases are perfect! If you come in Italy, don't miss the Casa della Resistenza in Verbania, near Italian-Swiss border: many Allied soldiers passed in Switzerland helped by civilians and antifascists partisans
Un Toscano ex combattente della 1guerra mondiale che conosce un pó di inglesee che fa il contadino al confine Svizzero. Perché no? Attori bravi al di là dell'accento!
What an emotional ending!! I wonder if people would be so selfless and kind now like that man and his daughter? I’d like to hope so. Brilliant acting especially by Scott Rutherford!! I’d Love to see a part 2 to this.
Great job Zak! So often it is forgotten that there were people all over Nazi occupied Europe that helped many Allied militants, and this was not only a great reminder, but also a fantastic view into the fellowship and hardship that both parties faced. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. I do have one minor gripe. I had a hard time hearing the voices with volume at a normal level, and therefore everything else (music, other noises) was incredibly loud. I've never worked in/with film, so I'm not sure if it was the microphones or after edits, but I do hope this can help you with your future endeavours.
Amazing work on this short !!!! Bravo !!! Well played, well filmed , very sad story....war is the apotheosis of mankind stupidity, brutality...! All the worst in human comes with war but also , all the greatness in the power of love , friendship , courage, bravery, strength, beauty ! Too bad that the dark side is so prevalent in these times . I can’t believe that today , some people, in some countries have to face this terrible reality ! We can thank God , we in safe countries to not have to endure these barbaric reality ! God bless you all !!!

@@hans-martinlinzer8056 Yep :) That's pretty much what my comment was saying, because plenty of the jews were neighbors and friends, of course they'd try to protect them.
My grand dads cousin was a a prisoner in italy and everything in this video was simallar to his story he went to them in 1967 and founded them they recognized his actsent and huged him fortninetaly the house that they lived wasnt destroied in the war and he lived by them for the rest of his life he died in 1995 at end of the croatian war of independence that my father was in it check the videos about it
People who risked their lives to save people like Jews and other minorities to the Germans should get an award, unfortunately most of those people lost their lives saving said people
We should thank all people who helped others during WW2 and remember people like the farmers who helped the escaped and the wounded and ended up giving their lives for them
One of my great great uncle’s Had lived in the Netherlands in 1940 when the Germans invaded. Soldiers of the Wehrmacht had raided and burned his house outside the Rotterdam area. After this, He managed to escape to France, which was a big mistake he made when France surrendered in June 1940. With no other choice to make, he joined the French resistance until 1944, raiding checkpoints, helping escaped prisoners and relaying intelligence to the Allies in Britain. He even helped the Marquis and the U.S. Army in liberating Paris. Then with the aid of the allies, he secretly headed back to the Netherlands and then joined up with the Dutch resistance in destroying key German positions in Rotterdam and Nijmegen. He fought until the liberation in 1945 and then came to the United States in the 1950’s he was an extraordinary man who helped a ton of prisoners escape and even helped the Allied war effort in France. Unfortunately, he died in 1998 two years before I was born. I’ve only seen pictures of him, and yet I salute him!!
As soon as they took off the uniforms I was thinking burn them. A very good short film which had a cruel ending. God bless all those brave farmers and their families who helped those allied prisoners, so courageous.😥
I really enjoyed it and the guy who played harry (Scott Rutherford) is actually my friend from school. The ending was abit disappointing and was left on a cliff hanger but none the less it was great.
Yip Scott has been through a war himself in life with heart transplants in and out of hospital he's spread inspiring stories about how important organ donations are and he surprised us all with this wonderful news about staring in a short wwll film. He was phenomenal in it as the rest of the actors. I liked him and the guy that took them in. Just wish we got to see the Germans get killed for killing that poor guy and his daughter. Please make a part 2. We would like to see if they both got to Switzerland. I think that's where they are headed.
Random video Guy 93 that’s actually how I met Scott, I made a documentary about his heart transplant! He’s the most inspirational guy I know and I cast him as Harry long before I wrote the script
those Italians were risking their lives to help others they were probably the nicest people our day and age people wouldn't do that at least some people
A lot of my relatives were Italian partisans, fortunately they are not dead in action, they destroyed the tracks of the concentration camps trains and liberate the prisoners. We must remember they forever and remember also all of the people that fighted to liberate us. Honour to these people!
My great grandfather fought in ww1 in Eypres and got mustard gassed which badly damaged his lungs he also broke his back, he was a pretty strong man. He tried to sign up when the second World War broke out and cried when he was told he couldn't. I wish I could've met him.
The highlight of this short film was the grace, warmth and expectant passion between Ernesto and Alexandra as they said their final farewells. You sensed how Alexandra was a good, loyal, homely farmer's daughter who had a life ahead of her as a wonderful mother. This illusion, however, was soon to be shattered by the arrival of a German Hauptman and two soldiers hunting for 2 escaped British soldiers. Ernesto and Marco had forgotten to hide their uniforms, which were discovered, and led to the cold, summary executions of the very kind farmer and his dearly beloved daughter, Alexandra.
To be honest bro most people are saying their grandfather was in World War Two but my grandpa was born in 1937 and was only 2 years old at the begging of the war and 8 at the end of it.He is still alive today at the age of 83 and still tells me stories that he remembers.
Personally, I am Italian and Polish. Having some of my family members talk about them taking this risk to save Allied Forces Military Officers, I am very happy that they would be so kind. They helped British and American Officers. Also, My great grandfather was a child in Poland at the time of WWII, he said “Most children above 10 were fighting with even rocks and sticks.” My family in Poland helped Russian soldiers and other allied forces officers that were fighting in the Eastern Front. WWII was extremely dangerous and sad. We should all be grateful we aren’t in this time-period.
The female actor”alex” did great , you could really see the fear in her soul and then the father just breaks when he sees his daughter dies , great job
I like the beginning where they are in the train being sent which was true but the majority of the time they were crammed in the train till the point where it was hard to breathe but either way this film is pretty good keep up the good work :)
This reminds me of my grandparents. Old individual farmers (from any country, really) were some real badasses, they were incredibly strong and tough, but also incredibly kind and selfless. They would help others despite not having much themselves, because they cared about other people and lived simply. And they always did the right thing, even in situations like this. And they always got up super early like this man lol

@@deepyamandas1192 u shoud not wish death upon aonuthrs that is a sin im mexican by the way
@@deepyamandas1192 Never wish death upon anyone, for they were following orders... and orders are enough to torture a man.
Here's some advice.
We must worry about our own backs, for it's more important than any.
You act on emotions, never act on it, act on mental capacity, it's what was left of this world.
No veteran would wish death upon them, even after they slaughtered each other for years, peace was a thing... it was.
Imagine if the soldier came back after the war to thanks them and finds out what happened
That would be heartbreaking
I know and then he mourns their deaths
I am half Italian and I am Jewish, god bless every single life lost, I am very glad I came upon this film as I am very interested in ww 2 my relatives and to pray for those who fought and those who were murdered at this time ❤️🙏🏼
I cannot believe this is the work of just students, and that too with limited amount of resources and funding. This is one of the most beautifully done and directed short movie on the struggles of people behind enemy lines during WWII, I've ever seen. I wish I could, in-person congratulate and appreciate every person who has contributed to making this movie.
Adarshjit Das thank you for your kind works Adarshjit, it means alot
I agree. Unbelievably well done. Thank you!!!
My grandpa was 11 during the war and my grandma 5, before they would get married, 18 years later. The 2 families shared a radio together to tune into the dutch queen's radio transmissions to stay strong, they both played outside and on liberation day they shared candies the soldiers handed out. Its a small world we live in :)
My grandfather was in the Netherlands shortly after they were liberated. He made friends with a Dutch cobbler who made my mother, who was a baby at the time, her first pair of shoes. Heartfelt greetings from England.
My grandfather went to Normandy, then he want South of Italy going up to Germany. He saw some Italians helping these men before they gave them weapons and clothing. He was a kind man and tried to do everything he can. He never killed anyone, his confirmed kills are 0. 1921-2014
He fought for Germany right,god bless him
Tbf tho if never killed anyone his confirmed kills is hardly going to be 6 is it? 😂
God Bless everyone who lost their lives while saving lives in the face of evil.
Evil always has the same face and is called Germany .... now they no longer use panzers but the Euro .... much more lethal
aldo de bartolomeo Germany isn’t evil anymore. I went there 1.5 years ago. They have great Spatzle.

I go to Germany 3 times a year ..... it is their politics that sucks ..... the inhabitants will say that they know nothing of what is going on ... exactly as they did after nazism
@@cataldodebartolomeo2052 Yeah right,the internetspeed was very good in '40/'45. Newspaper and mouth to mouth story's ruled the German world in de '40. Your next car must be a kind of France.With a German/Japanese/Italian car you stimulate their 'politic that sucks'.
Awesome story. Its a sad one but so true. Loved the music also, especially on the closing credits. Keep making great films like this!
My great-grandfather fought on the eastern front for 3 years. He survived and told the story to my mom. This almost made me cry but made me feel sad. Too many people died protecting us. May they rest in peace
Those Italians are just too nice. I think that war really made them see the value of other people which was shown through their hospitality towards the prisoners.
Edit: damn it was sad when they died. I did not see that coming.
Then what do you think the thumbnail was?

It’s so sad that they have to die they are just nice people germans where greedy for land but Why you have to kill a wonderful little girl and a lifeless farmer it so sad

I Tedeschi pensavano che tutti gli italiani fossero vigliacchi e traditori .
L'esercito italiano in guerra non è sempre stato efficiente e vittorioso, ma presi singolarmente sono soldati coraggiosi e tenaci come tutti gli altri.
My grandfather stormed Juno Beach with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders. Thank you for your service and your great sense of humor. He died in 2010. Rest in peace.
My great grandpa was a tank platoon leader in WW2. He defended Odessa, Ukraine when the Germans where attacking. He served until the siege of Berlin and got awarded the red star for his contribution.

My great grandad was in this war luckily he survived and still lives
He is 93🙏🙏🙏

Wow great. God bless from india.
A true veteran
Give my thanks to your grandfather
Greetings from Netherland
I remember those days my great grandfather told me all about him getting saved he died at the age of 96 due to a disease i salute him he will always be in my heart
Who did he get saved by?
What a beautiful film... love, and mercy. Hate and war. Stand, and know the truth or be told lies.. the saviors of the 2 world war - thank you. My grandfather would have thank you dearly.
Thoroughly enjoyed that, well done Scott, kerry and everyone else. Did not want it to end!
What an amazing short film you did very well making this Zak Jarvis
So well done house and clothing are authentic and like the idea of the use of different languages.
Heroes everywhere in the world!!!!Lovely film!
I'm Italian and i live in Italy. Just yesterday me and my grandmother were talking about the time of WW2 in Italy. At that time she was a child, but she remembers very well that her family many times helped italian partisans offering them foods and places in their home where they could rest and sleep.
One day while her family (that are of course mine relatives) were hosting two partisans, nazists came searching for them. Fortunately they succeeded in hiding the two partisans men inside the barn, where they were laying down under a layer of hay on the first floor.
Just imagine what could have happened if nazists would had found what her family were doing... all of them would have been instantly shot for helping "enemies of the nations". I will be always proud of my relatives, that risked their life to save people that were fighting from the inside in order to rebel and go against the Nazi-fascist oppressive regime, carrying the unceasing hope of a free Italy.
Italians and Greeks helped so many people. In Greece orthodox bishops helped Jewish evacuate and hide during occupation.
The bishops, priests, monks, friars and nuns, but also simple men and women, Italian Catholics have done the same! They did it also because Pope Pius XII asked them to give help to anyone (Jewish or not) who fled or was wanted by the Nazi-Fascists! Many of them have paid for these acts of love towards their neighbor with their lives, they are "martyrs of charity"! 👍🏻😉
ΠΟΥ ΣΑΙ ΡΕ ΠΑΤΡΙΩΤΗ !!!
Οι Ιταλοί στρατιώτες αναγκάστηκαν να πολεμήσουν με τους Ναζί Γερμανούς, αλλιώς θα είχαν πυροβολήσει αυτούς και τις οικογένειές τους. Αλλά δεν είχαν τίποτα ενάντια στους Γάλλους, τους Βρετανούς, τους Αμερικανούς και ακόμη λιγότερο με τους Έλληνες. Εμείς οι Ιταλοί κατάγονοι από τη Magna Graecia και πάντα θεωρούσαμε τους αδελφούς μας, αφού έχουμε την ίδια καταγωγή.
Italians started the Greek War malaka
@@lxzo1448 it's true that the Italian state has repeatedly acted against Greece. But Italian and Greek people are always friendly to each other despite past differences.
Poor old mate Salvadore got shot along with his daughter they didn’t deserve that

Great short film ! My Dad was a Partisan in north west Italy in WW2 . He told me a story about an American fighter pilot who bellied in when his P-47 was shot down in October 1944 . He made it back to his lines in February 1945 with the help of Italian citizens and the Partisans . I found out who the pilot was in 2006 and contacted him .He was grateful of a particular family you kept him hidden in Tosca Italy .
It is sad to say that such kind of German, especially the members of the SS soldiers, committing war crimes were not convicted in the war crime trials in Europe after the war. A handful of these criminals were convicted. In the name of unity in Western Bloc against the Communist regimes led by Soviet Union, most of the minor cases of war crimes in Europe were dismissed, and most of the accused were acquitted.
satoshi ara like he said, orders are orders he can’t do nothing about it. As a low ranking SS officer
Don't acuse soviet union for that Nuremberg judgment was for everyone
satoshi ara what this guy writes order is order or better Befehl ist Befehl is old excuse of nazi for committing war crimes.Therefore in actual German army( Bundeswehr) is right to denounce to follow order which should be criminal.
Lol sad to see allied war crimes that has never been educated to people before.
Jurgen Judzinski no, he physically can’t do nothing against it since there orders from the third Reich, he has to do it or else him and his family will get hunged
This is an amazing short film that deserves more recognition, if possible I’d love to see more like it
Thank you to the crew to let the people know these stories. All MUST remember what happened to avoid to repeat same mistakes.
ALL of us.
In EVERY gesture we do.
ALL days.
Grazie ancora, da un Italiano.

Both my grandparents fought in the war. One was at Normandy and the other was in the Navy. Im so proud of both of them. Long live the greatest generation
An amazing film. It completely blew me away. It is reassuring to know that young talented directors are carrying the flame. Thank you for this masterpiece and good luck!
Thank you!
@@zakjarvis8998 If you fancy a giggle, please watch Wartime, World War II in Europe. It was posted yesterday and made me laugh very much. What I love about your offering is that it is both personal and relevant. It deals with real people. My grandfather was a WWII veteran. He was an intelligent and sensitive person. He would have loved your film and found the "rockyisation" of an event which cost millions of lives distasteful to the extreme. Wars are not a game. They actually destroy people. You were on a budget, granted. But you were good, accurate and real. Please ignore the negativity (e.g. "The uniforms should have been hidden"). That is precisely what makes the richness of your film. You were aware that you were dealing with people who were not born soldiers and were just trying to help. Take pride, Zak, in being a sensitive human being. Again, well done!
Best world war short film I’ve seen so far! Good Work!
Stroke 357, the WW1 short film “The End of War” is pretty good, it’s hard to decide which of the two is better.
The italians told them were they were and still killed them so sad
But still he lied and told them they went south. They were heading north to seitzeland
Great job guys!
The italian accent of the "contadini" is funny for me (I'm italian) but the italian phrases are perfect!
If you come in Italy, don't miss the Casa della Resistenza in Verbania, near Italian-Swiss border: many Allied soldiers passed in Switzerland helped by civilians and antifascists partisans
He is obviously from Tuscany/Toscana, but the girl is not an Italian actress! She has a foreign accent.

What an emotional ending!! I wonder if people would be so selfless and kind now like that man and his daughter? I’d like to hope so. Brilliant acting especially by Scott Rutherford!! I’d Love to see a part 2 to this.
Thank you.
after 3 years this legend is still hearting comments. impressive
The Italian guy was such a great actor
Great job Zak! So often it is forgotten that there were people all over Nazi occupied Europe that helped many Allied militants, and this was not only a great reminder, but also a fantastic view into the fellowship and hardship that both parties faced. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
I do have one minor gripe. I had a hard time hearing the voices with volume at a normal level, and therefore everything else (music, other noises) was incredibly loud. I've never worked in/with film, so I'm not sure if it was the microphones or after edits, but I do hope this can help you with your future endeavours.
Amazing work on this short !!!! Bravo !!! Well played, well filmed , very sad story....war is the apotheosis of mankind stupidity, brutality...! All the worst in human comes with war but also , all the greatness in the power of love , friendship , courage, bravery, strength, beauty ! Too bad that the dark side is so prevalent in these times . I can’t believe that today , some people, in some countries have to face this terrible reality ! We can thank God , we in safe countries to not have to endure these barbaric reality ! God bless you all !!!
The Italians are wonderful people. God bless Italy.
You wouldn't say that about Germans so openly would you?
@@chillaxo9863 Modern Germans are wonderful people, I'd even go so far as to say most Germans during ww2 were wonderful people, just most of them were dicks.
@@TheRaccoonGamer there were lots of germans hiding jews and escapees and were murdered for that exactly like the italians in that video
@@hans-martinlinzer8056 Yep :) That's pretty much what my comment was saying, because plenty of the jews were neighbors and friends, of course they'd try to protect them.

Not gonna lie, I kinda teared up when I saw that man's face at the end
One of my great great uncle’s Had lived in the Netherlands in 1940 when the Germans invaded. Soldiers of the Wehrmacht had raided and burned his house outside the Rotterdam area. After this, He managed to escape to France, which was a big mistake he made when France surrendered in June 1940. With no other choice to make, he joined the French resistance until 1944, raiding checkpoints, helping escaped prisoners and relaying intelligence to the Allies in Britain. He even helped the Marquis and the U.S. Army in liberating Paris. Then with the aid of the allies, he secretly headed back to the Netherlands and then joined up with the Dutch resistance in destroying key German positions in Rotterdam and Nijmegen. He fought until the liberation in 1945 and then came to the United States in the 1950’s he was an extraordinary man who helped a ton of prisoners escape and even helped the Allied war effort in France. Unfortunately, he died in 1998 two years before I was born. I’ve only seen pictures of him, and yet I salute him!!
Brayden Lom amazing story, should be a film!
The Italians where heroes and to hear a lot of the m put their lives at risk and even died for us Brit’s is a heartbreaking story.
Esatto.
They are all true stories.
As soon as they took off the uniforms I was thinking burn them. A very good short film which had a cruel ending. God bless all those brave farmers and their families who helped those allied prisoners, so courageous.😥
I really enjoyed it and the guy who played harry (Scott Rutherford) is actually my friend from school. The ending was abit disappointing and was left on a cliff hanger but none the less it was great.
Random video Guy 93 Really.
Yip Scott has been through a war himself in life with heart transplants in and out of hospital he's spread inspiring stories about how important organ donations are and he surprised us all with this wonderful news about staring in a short wwll film. He was phenomenal in it as the rest of the actors. I liked him and the guy that took them in. Just wish we got to see the Germans get killed for killing that poor guy and his daughter. Please make a part 2. We would like to see if they both got to Switzerland. I think that's where they are headed.
Random video Guy 93 that’s actually how I met Scott, I made a documentary about his heart transplant! He’s the most inspirational guy I know and I cast him as Harry long before I wrote the script
This is on of the best “fan films” i have everseen, right next to 1 grit origin story
I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said about this film. It packed so much into its 21 minutes.
BRILLIANT! WELL DONE.....As an Italian, I am proud of what you have done and thank you!
Alessandro Gigli grazie Alessandro!
those Italians were risking their lives to help others they were probably the nicest people our day and age people wouldn't do that at least some people
Netflix: A better film maker doesn’t exi-

A lot of my relatives were Italian partisans, fortunately they are not dead in action, they destroyed the tracks of the concentration camps trains and liberate the prisoners. We must remember they forever and remember also all of the people that fighted to liberate us. Honour to these people!
E pensare che oggi iniziano anche a negare il contributo della guerra partigiana in Italia dal '43 al '45... folle!
Film growing very fast 10k views in 3 hours
My great grandfather fought in ww1 in Eypres and got mustard gassed which badly damaged his lungs he also broke his back, he was a pretty strong man. He tried to sign up when the second World War broke out and cried when he was told he couldn't. I wish I could've met him.
He apparently also said if Hitler won the war he would of shot everyone in the family to save us from a life of misery, bit scary that lol
Earned a sub. Also these Italians were true heroes!
They are all true and documented stories.
This made me really sad but then I realized these people are still living and hopefully healthy so :p
The highlight of this short film was the grace, warmth and expectant passion between Ernesto and Alexandra as they said their final farewells. You sensed how Alexandra was a good, loyal, homely farmer's daughter who had a life ahead of her as a wonderful mother. This illusion, however, was soon to be shattered by the arrival of a German Hauptman and two soldiers hunting for 2 escaped British soldiers. Ernesto and Marco had forgotten to hide their uniforms, which were discovered, and led to the cold, summary executions of the very kind farmer and his dearly beloved daughter, Alexandra.
To be honest bro most people are saying their grandfather was in World War Two but my grandpa was born in 1937 and was only 2 years old at the begging of the war and 8 at the end of it.He is still alive today at the age of 83 and still tells me stories that he remembers.
Personally, I am Italian and Polish.
Having some of my family members talk about them taking this risk to save Allied Forces Military Officers, I am very happy that they would be so kind. They helped British and American Officers. Also,
My great grandfather was a child in Poland at the time of WWII, he said “Most children above 10 were fighting with even rocks and sticks.”
My family in Poland helped Russian soldiers and other allied forces officers that were fighting in the Eastern Front.
WWII was extremely dangerous and sad.
We should all be grateful we aren’t in this time-period.
Finally a film short that has a proper ending, with a good story to boot!
The female actor”alex” did great , you could really see the fear in her soul and then the father just breaks when he sees his daughter dies , great job
Dang those italians were so nice, like they didn't have much but still tried to help them.
I was totally captivated by this film, I could have watched another hour or more.
I like the beginning where they are in the train being sent which was true but the majority of the time they were crammed in the train till the point where it was hard to breathe but either way this film is pretty good keep up the good work :)
I have heard there is a two hour adaption film coming, and omg I can't wait, I must of watched this about 50 times
This reminds me of my grandparents. Old individual farmers (from any country, really) were some real badasses, they were incredibly strong and tough, but also incredibly kind and selfless. They would help others despite not having much themselves, because they cared about other people and lived simply. And they always did the right thing, even in situations like this. And they always got up super early like this man lol
I was really hoping the 2 soldiers would come back just in time to save the farmer and his daughter
