黑手黨(Mafia),一個飄蕩在西方百年曆史中揮之不去的黑暗力量,它是怎樣的組織形式,曾經造成怎樣的影響?馬龍.白蘭度在其巔峰之作《教父》中為我們成功刻畫了一個Mafia首領形象,或許多數人都是看了這部經典影片才知曉一些關於Mafia的情況,也許很多人也才知道了Mafia的存在!原因在於Mafia的組織過於嚴密,推崇行事低調,恪守緘默。似乎離普通人很遠,但有時身邊的突發事件有讓人們不得不考慮它的存在!本專輯共四部,通過大量的曆史資料和當事人、法官及探案人員的口述向我們徐徐展開一個關於Mafia的真實描述!
第四集: The Godfathers
They were two very different godfathers. John Gotti was "dapper Don'', the streetwise, publicity-loving head of the Gambino family in New York. Toto Riina was the psychopathic head of the Sicilian Mafia. As revealed in this fourth and final episode of The Mafia, between them they would bring the Mafia to crisis point. Gotti blasted his way to power, brazenly murdering his rival, Paul Castellano, during the Manhattan rush hour. He defied the law to come after him.
But rising to his challenge proved tough for law enforcers as Gotti beat the rap in thee separate trials by intimidating witnesses and bribing jury members. In Sicily, Mafia don Toto Riina ('the beast') seemed equally untouchable, particularly after dispensing with his determined opponent, magistrate Giovanni Falcone. But a revolution by the people of Palermo, Sicily, tired of Mafia bloodshed, forced the Sicilian mob to change their tactics and retreat into the shadows. Gotti's eventual jailing has weakened the mob's grasp, but for how long, is the question on law enforcement minds.
