Spike Lee’s latest film “Miracle at St Anna” is upsetting more than just a few people.
After the “Miracle at St Anna” release in Florence, the ANPI association, or the National Association of Italian Partisans, is offended by references in the film that suggest that Italian resistance fighters to Nazi occupation, abandoned the citizens of St Anna, leading to a massacre from the Nazis as they fled from Allied forces.
The Association has released a protest on “the historical lies and offence directed at the Resistance.
Those lies have been received by a deafening silence by the Martyrs Association of St Anna and by the Committee for the honouring of the St Anna Martyrs, falling short of its task to evaluate the historical and moral patrimony of the resistance, trusted to it by regional law and the National Park of Peace.
”While the criticism is perhaps not headed directly for Spike Lee, it’s not the first time he has had to defend his film.
On St Anna Lee says:“I am not apologising for anything.
[There is] a lot about your history you have yet to come to grips with.
I have no doubts that the partisans were great but they were not universally loved by the civilian population.
