Italian Mafia - Ndrangheta chronicle of the Calabrian mafia

In the heart of Calabria, in southern Italy, this investigative documentary dives into the secret world of the ’Ndrangheta, one of the most powerful and wealthiest mafias in the world. From the village of San Luca to the strategic port of Gioia Tauro, the film reveals how this criminal organization controls entire territories, infiltrates the local economy, and thrives through international trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. With an estimated annual turnover of tens of billions of euros, the Calabrian mafia operates in the shadows, protected by the code of silence and tightly sealed family networks. Spectacular seizures, police raids, secret initiation ceremonies, threatened witnesses, ruined entrepreneurs, and confiscated assets expose the inner workings of a far-reaching criminal system. Against this grip of fear, magistrates, police officers, priests, and courageous citizens are trying to fight back. A rare immersion into a region where standing up to the ’Ndrangheta can come at a very high price.
