"Mussolini: Son of the Century recounts the political rise of Mussolini and his creation: fascism. First a movement, then a party he leads to the top of the Italian government, only to subvert democracy and impose a dictatorship.

Through contemporary language — Mussolini breaks the fourth wall to share unspeakable thoughts and comment on history’s turning points — the series offers an original, ‘pop’ portrait, at times darkly humorous, of the man who, despite betraying ideals, people, and institutions, and committing acts of brutal violence, made Italy fall for him and became its undisputed Duce."
