In the aftermath of tragedy, a community gathers to ask what went wrong. This bold reimagining of Romeo and Juliet frames the story as an investigation into the forces that led two young people to their deaths. Blending theatrical storytelling with a documentary lens, The Lost Children of Verona explores accountability, memory, and the systems that fail the young. As testimony unfolds and narratives collide, the familiar tale fractures –revealing not just what happened, but why it was allowed to happen.
