The Il Ponte Film Group presents the Potentially Dangerous film, a feature length documentary on the Internments of Italians in America during World War 2. Potentially Dangerous focuses on a period of time during World War II when the U.S Government restricted the rights and freedoms of 600,000 Italian residents of the United States. All were declared “Enemy Aliens,” and many were placed under curfew, banned from their workplaces, forcibly moved from their homes and communities, and even placed in internment camps. Most Italians refused to speak about what happened to them. Even now, almost 80 years after their ordeal, many of the surviving Italians have remained silent. That is, until now. In this film, you will hear their stores for the first time.
