A murdered Judge – Blessed Rosario Livatino
A murdered Judge - Blessed Rosario Livatino
In 1980s Sicily, young judge Rosario Livatino stands out as a pioneer in the fight against the Mob.

With rare insight and determination, he is among the first to unravel the complex web of Sicilian organised crime. His brilliant career is brutally cut short on 21 September 1990, when he is assassinated by the Stidda – a criminal group formed by defectors from Cosa Nostra – on his way to the Agrigento courthouse. An unexpected witness, Piero Nava, decides to testify against the killers — the first Mafia witness in Italy — and will be forced to abandon his identity and his life forever.

This documentary portrays an incorruptible magistrate and the true cost of justice in a land scarred by violence.
