CITIZEN

The director who first dared to tell the story of the Istrian exodus

When it was released in cinemas in 1948, “La città dolente” met with little success, but Mario Bonnard's work subsequently became a valuable document on the exodus from Pola and on the conditions in Istria in the immediate post-war period, when in Zone B the Yugoslav military administration was in reality the first stage of an increasingly obvious annexation to communist Yugoslavia well before the official decisions of the Peace Conference.
