ARTE Re: Reporters Against the Mafia

Reporting on the Mafia can end deadly.

A bomb explosion on the balcony of a house in the Roman district of Ostia. An elderly couple lives in the apartment. Their daughter, Federica Angeli, a journalist who has been reporting on organised crime in Rome for years, is the key witness in the trial against the Roman Mafia clan Spada. The Sicilian reporter Paolo Borrometi was brutally beaten up four years ago, later his house was set on fire. Both have to fear for their lives because they report about the Italian Mafia.
