Francesco Patierno brings Norman Lewis' war diary to life in a feature documentary. The documentary, NAPLES'44, combines unique archive footage, feature film footage, and narration by Benedict Cumberbatch to recreate the authentic scenario Lewis found in Naples after the war. The film contrasts extraordinary, mostly unreleased, footage images with excerpts from famous films set in the city, showcasing a complex social melting pot of working classes, artisans, and noblemen living together in a city devastated by air raids.
