great big guy we need someone like you. more than a 100 shops like this once belonged to a local mafia who used them as a front for drug. dealing and prostitution. they were then confiscated by the state and handed over to organizations like the b. era. through its initiatives lee better aims to show the change is possible. or if the activity day is done but fatima's work is far from over the next day she's headed to one of his reso szell ization camps to act as a counselor for the 1st time. fatima for other young people and the supervisors from leaving her i meet at general airport fatima is the only girl. she's a bit nervous and hopes she'll be able to perform her duties well. these youths have all come into conflict with the law and they're on probation giacomo and jen luigi are from milan filippo and kevin are from genoa. now they're all headed to marsala a town in sicily. fatima is to function as a kind of mediator between the educators from libya and the young offenders with whom she shares a similar history. the campus held near marsala right by the sea at the lake and the valley. it's a club devoted to promoting an interest in sailing water sports and the protection of marine life among children and youths in particular. the group friendly there are 7 young people from genoa milan and marsala and several counselors will spend the next 6 days together here. and it's time to get acquainted salvatore in who he is one of the camp's directors and lee bettors co-founders as well as a social worker and activist. he and the other supervisors chose the participants. they're all youths required to take part in lead batteries programs during their parole period. generally g. is 1000 years old and a convicted robber. giacomo who's 16 was also convicted of robbery. with a. single. filippo is 19 and was convicted of drug dealing. you know the camp is a reward for these youths it's recognition of their good behavior and shows them they're on the right path here they'll meet former mafia members who found the courage to leave. their go sailing and windsurfing positive group experiences which should leave them with a newfound sense of success. gentle reader and giacomo told us their stories on the very 1st afternoon where they began resorting to illegal ways to get money either alone in pairs or as part of baby gangs which other teens. a lot of the light in general e.g. spent the money he got from mugging people on the street and brand name clothes fashion is his weakness. in the. jungle she pressed for the level we often had a knife with us but not a big one that he could still people were afraid of us of the way we acted in the way we talked the job i spoke in my sicilian dialect and my buddy and his team is in dialect. until delicately she. was watching luigi shows us a surveillance video released by the police of a baby gang robbing other kids at an arcade john luigi was there but isn't in the video but he kept on playing in the next room this kind of thing wasn't his style. the guy with the white t. shirt took the 1st cell phone away. searched the kid stuff and stole it without them knowing it. he opened the backpack without anyone noticing he took the phone out. then he and the other coca leaves took it and left. me back to. where i started robbing so i'd have some money. in the sea we always had financial problems at home so i never asked my mother for money so when i got older i found my own way to get cash. we need the. i kept some of it and gave part of it to my mother without telling her where i got it from but what we did for children in the mob it's a different meaning to. the other she never asked where the money came from on the night you know she never asked i got dozens of those she must have known something was up in getting a little in the evenings when she came home she'd find on followed by put there containing 300 euros or more and then again over the phone calls it is when i'd committed a robbery i never came home in a good mood because i was never happy about it because i knew what i'd done wasn't going to myself it was more a matter of necessity because you just you know not let alone the father love i had nothing to do my mother and my father too always said go find yourself a job. you will i wanted to work but i had no idea how to find a job i mean i told myself walking around with empty pockets is no good you need money. so. i thought if you were in the same situation as before would you do it again. i don't know my living conditions haven't improved much closer to me get to them to. me but as my dad always said freedom is everything. i don't know because they're gay people are not enough to begin to build the edges so to the rest can stop you in your tracks and only when your freedoms taken away do you realize how important this is where you know just being able to go out on your own or have a beer with friends but all things like that could all go in the end if you're locked up you can't do them up with. the next morning they start windsurfing with a little help from the professionals at the leg i never really thought you might has never stood on windsurf board before. well a lot of people keep calm cross your arms and look ahead. ok let it down let it down. and struck him also seems a bit unsure of himself. this may look like an exclusive summer camp that many young people would love to attend but there's a clever strategy behind lead better can. see through issues if you do charge these kids feel privileged to have received this opportunity to show their sport they learn respect for rules and discipline it will show if they don't respect the rules and are careless they won't have any fun that should be enough shouldn't you just get to the end because the water sports or outdoor activities they also learn respect for the environment for nature and how to protect it knowing financial moves the money they do speak to them going to get enough food to do. so despite the fact that she can't swim like a fox ema is bravely standing on the board at least for a while. i know that it's an uphill fight that we did it we were happy mummy at a little. this. was something that. just after the windsurfing they're put to work. now. one of the chores at camp is to clean up the trash that others have left behind. taking care of others well being is also a political activity but if you're contributing to the common good. today for our environment isn't just the physical things around us the sea and nature it's the people to me. when my fellow beings are doing badly and so my and when they're doing well i feel better to. get involved take care and care for others working for the community is a major blow against the mafia. pick up. some a story in glee is addressing a widespread problem in italy the absence of community spirit a lack of interest in the common good and sheer egotism helped the mafia flourish in italian society. that evening filippo tells how he got into drug dealing where did he get the drugs he later sold. for no confidence in the looking out. from the mafia they have the contacts to the folks to go to. the mafiosi and their families are at the top of the pyramid little guy needs and it was because if all you spray organized the trade and divvy up the work amongst many other people who then split it up even more you don't need to show you that that goes on all the way down the pyramid and i was right at the bottom you were going to the front door you in the end i had to pay them without getting anything in return so you're out of your computer. at 14 he started hanging around with the wrong crowd he began smoking a joint or 2 then moved on to harder drugs but all of you know i didn't like that enough for me it was about the adrenaline rush that's why i took drugs which i wanted that feeling wanted to feel good every day i wanted to live for the day to enjoy it and organize money to do that we're going to fight me we saw you get a. lot of the before the next day the group enters deeper. waters it's time for their sailing lessons. they learned where starboard inport are and most importantly how to stay on course keep your hand on the rudder and your goal in sight. even dares to set off without her life jacket on. to. freedom. freedom which i had that to to do on my own when they lock me away. all of an elderly look at. my mug people until phones and their money gold clothes shoes. generally gee had to answer in court for 7 robberies the charges were later dropped for 2 he'd committed as a minor. or sum up the judge gave me one year on probation i've come through the probation period well i'm still clean so they let me off for the crimes i committed as a minor then i was tried as an adult for the other ones they took into account whether i found work done volunteer work whether i'd stay clean during my probation period . whether you can apply sunscreen properly. even though i've been at least they see that i'm doing my best but not throwing me in jail giving me another chance. to get it done for me thought. no no wait a lot of it i never robbed anybody. i don't like it that someone works hard to earn money and then you come and you just take it all away from him. it was there that's just wrong really. but i guess that i do think that's a good thing i like taking the things. i took them and ran off i like that i was too much in my own head. to. hear what i said i can be your friends but also someone who tells you enough cut it out we're here to do something different. opera for the cause i put the heart of the. gradually fatima's growing into her role here. at dinnertime everyone's tired it's been a challenging day but tomorrow promises to be the most exciting one yet. the young people visit to separate human cost of a trial no a cause a no stress stronghold. giuseppi is a close relative of this is elian mafias box of all buses might tail messina. one of italy's most wanted criminals he's thought to be responsible for more than 50 murders. you know has been in hiding for close to 3 decades for many he's a legend and a folk hero. for years jews that base father had to support his cousin donato with money and received a long jail sentence for acting as an accessory to the mafia. he's now dead but while in jail he decided to cooperate with the authorities that led to the arrests of numerous family members including his own brother. but in sicily those who break their silence and betray mafia members are shunned and live dangerously. the limits of. their threats don't frighten me you know why. only a few months back a couple of little mafiosi were arrested. during questioning they said that 5 others were standing ready just waiting for the order to come here and shoot all our horses but today these things are pursued i mean that the state is after them and they're stopped before they can do anything. that's reassuring because i can see the authorities are working the state is there it's not like it was before at least to my knowledge. that's why the family has declined to join a witness protection program fatima has a burning question she wants to ask is that because grandmother the turncoats mother who doesn't wish to be filmed. i'm going to see you as a mother how could you bear it that your son. betrayed your families mafia members to the authorities or from some are saying you've been here i'm just not what you think this is and i'm still standing in the line of fire ok the thing that says it all so. i don't think i can imagine that you resent your son a bit for all the damage he caused him no no no you know that the most i can tell you know you know why she's not resentful my grandma is the mother to us all thought she knew health things operated she knew that my father had to collaborate and that he did it out of love for his children to free us from a needless burden she knew that there was no alternative obviously if she knew the dynamics she didn't reject him she stayed by a side until his dying day but the minute they must the company was either going to fund them or. but what's it like living in a cousin oestrus stronghold. with the jade they decided that when all is good i know these guys and they're a bad lot lot of each other and they're ignorant and they're losers upon their conversations were bugged by the police it's also this when they talk about us when they talk about the bindi team and their children you know what they say because they tell the story of does it begin my day on the child whose body they dissolved in acid. and shit they say they did well to dissolve at nasa because it was the only way to teach his father a lesson do you think that's ok dissolving a child in acid and you're the father of children when you come home to your kids what kind of face do you put on after saying something like that. that little before you might rose is referring to a spectacular case which took place in sicily in 1906 in with the much epidemic teo the 14 year old son of a mafia informant was brutally killed by the cause in austria in an effort to silence his father but it was put off the no one must say you need to fight the mafia in your own family the children of the mafiosi need to tell their parents you disgust me. you know i often told my father that he disgusted me and felt he decided to collaborate with the authorities because he knew that his son had rejected him thank you father that's what he knew i wasn't proud of him and that's why he changed and had the courage to do so after all the. goodness. for the young offenders giuseppe and his family are role models they're living proof that it's possible to live a life of crime behind you. back at the sailing club their visit has left a big impression on giacomo. putting footnotes into for one thing because of the information and to see what it's like for the relatives of the mafiosi. that was really interesting and touching. the senator from the sequence into this. in this. storm didn't especially when fatima asked the grandmother and she really didn't want to talk. she wasn't doing so well. but given the fact that the world and i saw lots of pain and anger in her yet she said something true i'm still standing in the line of fire . even. in the end she decided what side she was on. even though she knew it would divide the family. into 2 because in this from other people down the protests from the real down to. the people they've met and the things they've done at the libero summer camp have made these young people reflect on their own lives and strengthen their resolve to stay on the right path. from a committed on a lot has changed with me some of us if you knew me before and see how i am now and judge me on that you'd say would all my friends do this really changed. change on the inside and the outside from good to see. is simpler to do it because of what's important is to understand what we've done and where it's brought us the dem fox calls the stuff i'm the better to be dealt a hard blow now which are. still some that's really made a stop and understand things better. now i know what's important in life because of it i mean because i go down. on the last evening of the camp the participants learn that a rescue boat with more than 600 refugees on board has approached this is silly in coast but then denied permission to dock there. activists in marseilles organize a spontaneous demonstration salvatore and the young people from the liberal camp also take part in a quest for their 1st you're seeing this frightens us just which is why we need to actively take a stand that the light we're lighting is a symbol that pleases me because we all need to assume responsibility for sinners once everything my you'll see today i need to be a lighthouse. not because i shine brighter than the others but because if i'm convinced a direction is the right one it's my duty to point the way for others. you know you blow me to being the god of language game or the. end with that message the camp comes to an end for giacomo john luigi filippo and fatima. they know know that being a guiding light helping others and caring about their fate is yet another way to fight the mafia. well. there are no fight left in
