Mussolini: The First Fascist(2022)

Mussolini: The First Fascist is a documentary series examining the rise and 23-year reign of Italy's fascist dictator. From his 1922 March on Rome through his death in 1945, Benito Mussolini transformed himself from a radical journalist into the architect of fascism—a model that would later influence Hitler. The series traces how Mussolini consolidated power through violence and propaganda, positioning himself as the restorer of a new Roman Empire. Drawing on archival footage and interviews with surviving witnesses, the documentary explores the contradictions of the man: a former teacher and newspaper editor who became one of history's most notorious autocrats. It investigates his controversial alliance with Nazi Germany, the extent of Italian public support for his regime, and how a populist demagogue led his nation into the catastrophe of World War II. The portrait reveals the machinery of fascism's invention and its devastating consequences.
