Mafia Is Not What It Used to Be

Palermo, 2017. Photographer Letizia Battaglia, who spent decades chronicling the war against the mafia and the deaths of judges Falcone and Borsellino, watches the grandiose memorial events with deep skepticism. Her gaze, hardened by years of struggle, picks out cynical operators like businessman Ciccio Mira, who profit from the memory of the tragedies. The film follows her piercing and weary perspective, exploring how the legacy of heroes becomes a spectacle and how genuine resistance dissolves in a sea of rhetoric and commerce.
