Only at the end, I got to see the people of Italy rise up and protest the Mafia (yay), which caused them to withdraw slightly and overall the violence decreased. Unfortunately, I did not get a very good grasp of what was going on and why it was happening.
I was hoping to learn more about the Mafia and this period in Italian history when the Mafia not only terrorized themselves internally, but also wreaked havoc on the people of Sicily. I think a lot of us still have a morbid fascination with the Mafia and its gross violence. When I first heard the summary of this movie, my interest was piqued. Battaglia, and her work, are the focus of Kim Longinotto’s documentary Shooting the Mafia, which will be released in theaters Dec. Battaglia’s most notable photography were the photos that captured the brutal violence of the Mafia in the 1970s.
