About this event

Monday Night Cinema present Kidnapped, based on the unbelievable true story of how a six-year-old Jewish boy, Edgardo Mortara, was taken by the Catholic Church following claims that he was baptized by the family’s maid as a baby.

While his distraught family fight to get him back, they find themselves at the epicentre of a historical battle between Catholic authoritarianism and a growing opposition movement.

Palme d’Or-winning director Marco Bellocchio creates a gripping portrait of a small Jewish community in turmoil, at the mercy of a hostile and all-powerful theocracy.
