MUSSOLINI’S CHICKEN is a deeply personal documentary about one family’s hidden past and the slippery slope of fascism. As filmmaker Alex Bezeau pieces together the fragmented story of his great-grandfather Giovanni—a man who answered Mussolini’s every call—he uncovers the devastating consequences of a life shaped by a fascist dictator.

What begins as a search for one man’s past becomes a powerful investigation into how ordinary people can be drawn into authoritarianism—and how the choices they make can leave scars that echo through generations.
