About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

“Gino A Child of War" is an awe-inspiring docudrama which sheds light on the boundless hope and resilience of the human spirit amid the chaos of war. The film narrates the incredible story of Gino Farnetti, a five-year-old boy discovered frightened, hungry, and wandering amidst the war-torn ruins of Torrice, Italy, in 1944, by compassionate Canadian soldiers. For the next ten months, Gino found shelter, nourishment, and care among his Canadian guardians. A special bond formed between Gino and "Red" Lloyd Oliver, and this film portrays their remarkable relationship and the untold story that connects them.
