The Witness focuses on the massacre of almost two thousand Italian civilians by the German SS during World War II. A thirteen-year-old boy sees his family killed and the mountain community he lived in eradicated in the most brutal fashion. As he grows into adulthood, he swears vengeance on the perpetrators of this atrocity. Long after the war, he discovers the whereabouts of the SS leaders who were involved. Now he must face a difficult choice. Should he carry out his vow of vengeance? Or should he let it go?

The Devil’s Bridge is based on the true story of the friendship between Churchill and Mussolini. After the war, an Italian family living in the UK discovers the whereabouts of the letters that Churchill and Mussolini had once exchanged. Threatened by sinister forces, they
attempt to recover the letters and donate them to the Italian Government. But there are many people who don’t want these letters to surface, and who will do anything to keep them buried...
