Shooting the Mafia
Born in 1935 in Palermo, Letizia Battaglia discovered her passion for photography in her mid-30s following her divorce. She gained a formidable reputation as a photojournalist by daring to point her camera at members of the Cosa Nostra to chronicle their rule on the streets of Sicily. Award-winning documentary filmmaker Kim Longinotto pays tribute to a defiant and courageous trailblazer, now 84-years-old, who risked her life to capture the harsh realities of crime and punishment in modern Italy. Rare archive footage and Battaglia's memories of the past are intercut with her distinctive black-and-white photographs.
