Gomorra - Roberto Saviano / Mario Gelardi
The journalist Robert Saviano has researched and analyzed the inner workings of today’s organized crime. Southern Italy’s Camorra is the highly-active symbol for a living and living-among-us entrapment of capitalism as a life-consuming economy. How many euros is a life worth? Shamelessly, the Mafia asks this question – and it has little to fear: its system is our system in a slightly different guise.
Roberto Saviano
Roberto Saviano grew up near the city of Naples in a Camorra stronghold. In 2006 he published the documentary novel “GOMORRA,” which exposes practices of organized crime and their direct connection to the economy and politics. Saviano was the first to mercilessly name the perpetrators involved, for which the author achieved fame and at the same time forfeited to a large degree his personal freedom. “GOMORRA” was filmed by Matteo Garrone in 2008.
