Narrated by Jim Nantz, ROAD TO ROME: WORLD WAR II is an hour-long documentary that chronicles the Allies' brutal campaign to take Italy. Moving slowly from Salerno to the capital, the first phase of fighting in 1943 took place through villages, mountains and mud. Blending stunning contemporary footage with archival video and photographs, the film traces the bloody road to Rome through sites that remain today: Monte Cassino, San Pietro, the Rapido River, Naples and Anzio.
