Mr. Wonderland: An Immigrant’s Life Finally Rediscovered and Celebrated

Sylvester Zefferino Poli, a young sculptor who emigrated to the US in 1872 in search of a better life overseas, is a distinct and important Italian abroad: he’ll become the greatest theatrical impresario of his time. “Among the topics that interest me the most, memory is the first, meaning the transmission of history: what do we choose to remember and what to forget?”. The documentary brings back to light the adventures of an ordinary man who became extraordinary, who represented a cultural revolution between two centuries and two continents and who deserves not to be forgotten.
