CAMORRA
O.V in Italian subtitled in English and Spanish
The mafia are not just the underworld and organized crime. It is a way of life, an overwhelming social phenomenon, the engine of the economy and true political class of an entire society. This was the Camorra in Naples between the sixties and the nineties, and this film is told through shocking but real archival materials (watch out for the Camorra children), terrifying and fascinating at the same time. Along with the Gomorrah by Saviano, this film will remain as the darkest testimony of Italian history.
