Jeans, fame & 18 lost days: the film Toni had to make about father Nino D'Angelo

We sit down with Toni D'Angelo, director and son of Nino D'Angelo, to talk about Nino. 18 Giorni, the documentary that took him back to his father's extraordinary rise from poverty in Naples' San Pietro a Patierno to stadiums at Wembley, Madison Square Garden and the Olympia in Paris. The film's title refers to the 18 days Nino missed at the start of Toni's life, away on stage when his son was born. Toni tells us what it took to finally ask his father those questions, and what he found when he did. Winner of the Special Nastro d'Argento for best biographical film, and premiered at Venice 82, this is a story about Naples, sacrifice, and a son coming to terms with who his father really was.
