Marco Bellocchio's six-part HBO Max miniseries "Portobello" examines the true story of Italian TV presenter Enzo Tortora, who was falsely accused of cocaine dealing in 1980s Italy by an incarcerated criminal obsessed with him. The drama, starring Fabrizio Gifuni and Lino Musella, illustrates how baseless accusations aligned with authorities' interests can destroy an innocent person's life, a cautionary tale relevant to modern disinformation.
