Stories that may have seemed like old history now feel relevant, such as the powerful religious tale of the abduction of Edgardo Mortara in 1858.
Kidnapped portrays the historical horror of a young Jewish boy forcibly taken from his parents and subjected to Roman Catholic antisemitism in the 19th century.
Edgardo's parents fight relentlessly to get him back, facing stony-faced priests and the refusal of Pope Pius IX to release their son, who is subjected to Catholic education and double baptism.
