Müll, Mafia und das Große Schweigen plot
In early October 2017, researchers in the Italian region of Calabria targeted members of the powerful 'Ndrangheta clan, high-ranking officials and large entrepreneurs with their 'Metauros' action. This time it was not about drug or arms trafficking, but fierce competition, blackmail and corruption within the world of waste processing. Illegal waste disposal is not only deadly, but also turns out to be a lucrative business for the Italian mafia. Researchers, experts, activists, informants and victims speak in this documentary.
