Caduti: La Storia dei Lavoratori Italiani in Canada

Caduti is a powerful, deeply moving documentary that sheds light on a largely untold chapter of Canadian history and the sacrifices of thousands of Italian immigrant workers who helped build Canada’s roads, railways and cities, often at the cost of their lives.

Anchored by the compelling story of activist Marino Toppan and the creation of the Italian Fallen Workers Memorial, the film traces a sweeping historical arc across the 20th century, exploring workplace tragedies, systemic injustices, and the rise of advocacy that led to meaningful change.

Both a tribute and a timely reminder, Caduti brings a human face to history, exploring the resilience, memory, and legacy of those who gave so much to build our country.
