Checkmate Provenzano History Civilization

Code: 015480

This docu-drama focuses on the last few months of Sicilian Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano. 43 years as a fugitive from justice. Taped conversations of Mafiosi talking from their hideouts, eyewitness accounts of the police investigators, plus drama reconstructions provide a description of day-to-day Mafia life. For the very first time, Provenzano's "mailmen" are shown exchanging "pizzini", the handwritten messages used by the head of Cosa Nostra to give orders.
