The Sicilian Girl

Starring: Campisi, Andre and Galati, Carmelo

Product Description

Based on the true story of Rita Atria and Judge Paolo Borsellino, THE SICILIAN GIRL is the dramatic retelling of Atria's story: how a 17-year-old Sicilian whose father and brother were both Mafia members (and victims) breaks the vow of silence that enshrouds that world, and gives evidence to famed anti-Mafia judge Borsellino. Drawing upon Rita's extensive diaries, director Marco Amenta tells her story, beginning in Sicily in 1985. A small child experiences her beloved father as a respected member of the community, a man to whom neighbors turn for help when a rapacious landlord orders their eviction. Soon after, he's shot dead in the sun-drenched village square as his daughter looks on. Six years later, her brother is murdered. In court, Rita's words are denounced as "the ravings of a fanatical adolescent bent on revenge." But are they?
