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. |

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.
