Following the publication of “Gomorrah,” investigative journalist Roberto Saviano’s book, the Neapolitan mafia Camorra quickly gained increasing notoriety and became perceived as an intricate criminal organization, the violence of which surpasses even that of Sicilian mafia. The bloody image perpetuated by media sensationalism captured the imagination of the public, whose thirst for mafia stories was rapidly fueled by various fictional works like Matteo Garrone’s movie and the eponymous TV show which enjoyed huge international popularity. Yet there weren’t many people concerned about the collateral victims of this media outburst created around the marginalized and misunderstood community living on the periphery of the Italian society. The collective of filmmakers who co-author this film turn their attention to the Neapolitan neighbourhood Scampia, the heart of Camorra, in order to reveal to us another side of this vulnerable population. In a landscape which brings to mind the peripheries and the ghettos of Ferentari, we discover the heart-warming universe of the inhabitants, fragments of their hopes and dreams, the bingo nights, football enthusiasts, teenagers who learn to put on make-up, the street theatre evenings, and all the other touching details which make up the collective portrait of a community which, although isolated and abandoned by the authorities, is bursting with life.
