Naples mob tale filmed on their mean streets

TORONTO—Italy’s counterpart of persecuted novelist Salman Rushdie is a journalist named Roberto Saviano who dared to tell the truth about a Naples crime tsunami that has turned the city into an armed camp. Saviano has been marked for death by the Naples Mafia, known as the Camorra, which took great offence to his book, Gomorra, which named names. Given the threats against Saviano’s life, it hardly made sense that anyone would want to adapt the book into a film. http://www.straight.com/article-210617/naples-mob-tale-filmed-their-mean-streets?
