La Siciliana Ribelle plot
"What would drive a seventeen-year-old girl to betray her family? And if that family was the mafia?"
On a November morning in 1991, 17-year-old Rita approached the Public Prosecutor of Palermo, intending to justify the deaths of her father and her brother as members of the mafia. This was the first time the daughter of a mafia family openly rebelled against the traditionally male-led organization. From that day on, Rita's days were numbered. Rejected and threatened by her boyfriend, her hometown and even her mother, she was forced to leave Sicily and move to Rome where she now lives under a different name.
