Mark Cousins exposes all the lies about the March on Rome in this critical and ambitious documentary.
Through little-seen archival material and his characteristically cinematic analysis, Mark Cousins narrates the ascent of fascism in Italy and its fall-out across 1930s Europe. In The March on Rome, which is simultaneously an essay film and a historical document, Cousins contextualises history through the here and now, holding a mirror up to a political landscape marked by a creeping far right and manipulated media.
"Mark Cousins dissects Mussolini and the grisly founding myth of fascism in his trademark subjective style, using archive and contemporary footage to show the dictator's dishonesty and brutality. The eloquence of the film is invigorating – and educational." - The Guardian
