SYNOPSIS: It was the story of the century. It caused uproar around the globe. Evocative and riveting, Looking for Angelina is the true story of Angelina Napolitano, an Italian immigrant sentenced to death in 1911 for murdering her husband with an axe as he lay asleep on Easter Sunday in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
   
Now, after it has been buried for nearly a century, Looking for Angelina brings the story of this enigmatic woman to the screen for the first time. Directed by award-winning director Sergio Navarretta and starring Lina Giornofelice (Owning Mahowny, Narc) as Angelina, Looking for Angelina explores the fascinating truth behind this heartbreaking story of loss and redemption.
   
A young immigrant woman caught in a life she does not want, Angelina is the unlikely heroine at the focal point of a world wide media frenzy. Looking for Angelina is the eye-opening true story of one woman's struggle, and an evermore relevant source of fascination in the media-obsessed society we live in today.
