1. Blood-Soaked Power

August 27, 2019 • 78m

How the Sicilian peasant Salvatore Riina (1930-2017), known as Totò, came to power, thus becoming supreme boss of the Corleone family and subjecting the entire Sicilian Mafia to a relentless regime of terror for two decades.

2. The Fall

August 27, 2019 • 69m

How Totò Riina (1930-2017) was defeated, thanks to the brave efforts of many good Italians, led by prosecuting magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, and the detailed accounts of mafioso Tommaso Buscetta and other repentant criminals; plus the tragic narrative of the price that many of them had to pay to get so. An epic story that deserves to be told.
