Aspromonte: Land of The Forgotten (2019) on Netflix

Plot summary

At the close of the 1950s, Africo is a remote village in the Aspromonte valley with no road linking it to the neighboring towns. When a woman dies in childbirth with no doctor able to reach her in time, the inhabitants, children among them, set aside their usual occupations and build a road themselves. Giulia arrives from the North as the new schoolteacher, charged with teaching standard Italian so that Africo and the rest of Italy can share a culture. Don Totó, the local mafioso, wants the village to stay isolated, since its isolation keeps it under his control, and he opposes the road.
