Mafia is Not What it Used to Be
(2019)
A portrait of the Mafia in Sicily these days
Synopsis
Twenty-five years after the murders of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the Sicilian director Franco Maresco decides to shoot a new documentary to narrate the Mafia in our days. The project involves Letizia Battaglia, the brilliant “Mafia photographer” celebrated by The New York Times, and Ciccio Mira, the picturesque impresario who has constantly lived on the edge of legality. Ciccio Mira is organizing an event in the Zen district of Palermo, to remember the two judges killed in 1992: “The Neo-melodics for Falcone and Borsellino”. How has Mafia changed since its past days?
