Gomorra

Last night I saw a film called Gomorra about the Camorra: a mafia-like society that is involved in many illegal businesses. This film is based on a book written by the journalist Roberto Sabiano who uncovered most of the real Camorra activities to the public. Since the publication of his book he's been forced to change his identity and is escorted every day of his life to prevent any possible attack.
This film gives you a very good idea of the ways of living in a Camorra society.
It's location is in Naples (Italy), the biggest nucleus for Camorra clans. It's estimated around 111 clans are established and about 6.700 members are evolved.
It's said they're more successful than organized mafias because the range of businesses are very extensive,covered and protective.
Some of the businesses involved are: Drug dealing, drive-by shooting, illegal dumping of chemical wastes, trafficking prostitutes, control of food company products and others.
The film Gomorra also shows you the simple but crude ways of living in this poor and violent society. It makes you get a very good general idea and it's not so much of a story, it's more like a fact, a truth.
