Killing Silence: Taking on the Mafia in Sicily
mafia protestorsThis film looks at the historic rise of the Mafia from the waning days of World War II to the Mafia wars of the 1970s and '80s. Following the horrific 1992 Mafia slaying of two leading prosecutors, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the citizens of Palermo along with some fearless and charismatic leaders literally took to the streets in outrage. This was the birth of the anti-Mafia movement in Sicily.
