In 1935, Italian artist and activist Carlo Levi (Gian Maria Volontè) found himself exiled for his anti-fascist stance to a small town in the nation’s southern "instep." Encountering levels of poverty he’d never before seen, he applied his never-used medical degree to better the lives of the locals--and learned valuable lessons about love and human courage. Francesco Rosi’s indelible take on Levi’s memoir co-stars Irene Papas, Lea Massari. Uncut television version; 3 2/3 hrs. Standard; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In Italian with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
