Dark interview with author in hiding from the Mafia

submitted by Deano

1 decade 5 years 8 months 2 weeks ago

Duration 9 minutes 38 seconds.

From YT: Compelling interview with Roberto Saviano, who infiltrated Naples' organised crime gang, the Camorra, and revealed the worldwide grip the gang has in business and commerce. His book, Gomorrah, has become a global best seller and has been made into a highly acclaimed film.

He now lives under constant armed guard, moving from one secret location to another.
Italian with English subtitles.

The Academy didn't get it wrong. American media has a heavy stake in propagating the mafia mystique and the Academy is really just a big advertising firm for Hollywood. American filmmakers brought us "The Godfather" trilogy, "Goodfellas", "The Sopranos", and the like. True, these are stories about American criminals as opposed to Italian, but the propaganda is the same: mobsters may be cruel, but they're people, too, just like you and me, if not more interesting people. So again, the Academy didn't get it wrong. They know where their bread is buttered and it's not in deconstructing the mafia hero myth.
