Draft:The Island of Roses, Tragedy in Paradise

  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:NFILM) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable for establishing notability.
    Please note that many of the references are not formatted correctly (see Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor and Wikipedia’s Manual of Style for help).
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (e.g. "I think the page now meets WP:NFILM criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 23:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

The Island of Roses, Tragedy in Paradise (Italian: L'isola delle rose, la tragedia di un paradiso) is a 2008 documentary written and directed by Rebecca Samonà. Produced with support from the National Fund for the Victims of Nazism, it is the first Italian film to narrate the deportation of the Jewish community of Rhodes.[2]

Produced with the contribution of the National Fund for the Victims of Nazism, it was the first Italian film to tell the story of the deportation of the Jews of Rhodes. [3]

Through the director's own family history, the film tells the story of the Jewish community living in Rhodes, an Italian colony, and destroyed in Auschwitz in the summer of 1944. The documentary also recalls the resistance of the Italian military to the Germans following the Cassibile armistice with the Allies, after general Pietro Badoglio announced it on the radio on 8 September 1943 (Battle of Rhodes).

Filmed in Belgium, Italy and Greece, "L'isola delle rose, la tragedia di un paradiso" has a predominantly female narration, with testimonies, archive footage, photos and diaries of the director's family and friends, including Stella Levi's.[4]

It is distributed internationally with the title of The Island of Roses, Tragedy in Paradise.[5]
