"The Abduction", a new film by Italian director Marco Bellocchio, tells the story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish child, baptized in secret by his servant. "The Queen's Game", by Brazilian Karim Aïzouz, explores the fate of Catherine Parr, sixth wife of the terrible King of England Henry VIII.

Other feature films explore lesser-known dramatic episodes of history, such as the new Martin Scorsese "Killers of the Flower Moon" reuniting Leonardo Di Caprio and Robert de Niro.
