The rise of Benito Mussolini and the birth of fascism in Italy, chronicling a country’s surrender to dictatorship and the relentless ascent of a man who rose from his ashes time and again.
As Mussolini founds the Fasces of Combat, D'Annunzio takes Fiume. Mussolini hopes to exploit the feat of his poet on the field.
With the Socialists on the verge of victory, Mussolini seems finished. But landowners and industrialists seek his help against strikes.
With his entry into Parliament, Mussolini plans to be more strategic and diplomatic. But not everyone is a fan of his new plans.
Following protests, the King excludes the socialists from the government. In an attempt to take over, Mussolini threatens a fascist insurrection.
Mussolini plans a new electoral law that will guarantee him the absolute majority, but he receives backlash from the leader of the Catholics.
Mussolini opens the party lists to turncoat politicians from other parties, where an early fascist leader, Forni, takes sides against him.
Mussolini wins the elections by a landslide. But when Matteotti, a Socialist, asks for their annulment, he decides to teach him a lesson.
With the discovery of Matteotti's body and the arrest of his assassins, Mussolini is cornered. Will he be able to save himself and fascism?
