Film with accompanying guide by BOOST - Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention.

Set in 1911, the award-winning film "Looking for Angelina" is the story of Angelina Napolitano. An Italian immigrant, she killed her husband after years of abuse at his hands. Her community of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario was up in arms and sentenced the mother of four to hang after a three-hour trial. When the news spread around the world, hundreds of thousands of people petitioned Canada's Justice Minister demanding Angelina's release.

The film, written by Alessandra Piccione and Frank Canino and directed by Sergio Navarretta, explores the story of this young woman and what happened to her and her children after the trial. The accompanying guide will explore ways of dealing with the problems of family violence and its origins – an extraordinary package for teachers and facilitators about a problem that is present in millions of families today.
