a lot of other members of the do to our name i never thought i'd find myself in such a situation that i was capable of things like that i thought it was a bad time one i've left behind me what are you today i have better things to do and i'm happy about that and all of those important grounding some officials in. the streets around the port of genoa are frequented by sailors prostitutes migrants and petty crooks. they're also home to leave era the n.t. mafia organization is holding an activity today in front of its offices which once belonged to a mobster. lee barrett helps young offenders escape from a life of crime before they're recruited by the mafia. use like 18 year old fatima she ran away from home at 15 and joined what italians call

a baby gang. told us i mean i was roaming around milan's sundown nanto district with my gang i saw a policeman in civilian clothes saw a stealing a cellphone everyone else took off but it's up to the kids i was the only one left . there's a demand for all the police arrested me and put me in their car. so i think i felt at the police station they questioned me but i said nothing. about that. and because i didn't tell them the names of all of the culprits all of the blame fell on me. so i don't fortunately know where to put it so i had. or fight it out with us for protesting me. but i was convicted of robbery though she says she's never robbed anyone instead of doing time in juvenile detention she was sentenced to spend 17 months at a home for troubled youths 5 without permission to go out on her own. good.

humans into the city to do so and it was the owner but i felt i was a disappointment to my family because they hadn't raised me to be that way unfortunately but my parents also supported me during that difficult time on my cause they never made me feel like a disgrace they always said keep moving forward and fight it if you can do it by of on the law back in time to fight from a simple past. but the biggest help was a condition of her parole doing an internship at libero social worker catarina supervisor. bobby mommy. about the money that was sent to us by her parole officer i don't know michel she did her research allies ation program here with us she was obliged to annoy. but all. that classy but after a few months she founded less of an obligation and more of a pleasure to come here. and she participated actively. but that she thought it

through that means that. you there is a nationwide network of 1600 associations groups and schools together they fight against corruption in the mafia and for social justice. all across italy they conduct protests and hold summer camps and educational campaigns about the mafia and their crimes like they are doing here today. but if you want to incite fatima is telling local pathfinders about the assassinations of anti mafia judges giovanni falcone and paolo borsellino in 1902. the 1st of the you know was visiting his mother at her home the mafia knew that he always visited her on the same day at the same time so they placed a bomb outside her house when he came home they blew him up. and can work. with. the

children express their thoughts about what fatima has told them through pictures. put in them this shows the knife next to it's written think before you stab me. once the drawings done it's time for the next activity. so now the others have already left. i have talked to him and a friend are on their way to. shop that the italian state confiscated from a mafia boss. this activity was capturing his idea. and they are a big guy we need someone like you. to feel. more than 100 shops like this once belonged to a local mafioso 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 vieira. 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 leave where i meet a general airport fatima's the only girl. she's a bit nervous and hope she'll be able to perform her duties well. these youths have all come into conflict with the law and are on probation giacomo and jen luigi are from milan filippo and kevin are from genoa. no 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. in the camp is held near marsala right by the sea at the lake and the valley. and 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 from lee 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 camps directors and lee betters 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 better as programs during their parole period. the. young lady is 19 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. in 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. they'll go sailing and windsurfing positive group experiences which should leave them with a newfound sense of success. in general really 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 maybe gangs but other teens. a lot of the little i generally just spent the money he got from mugging people on the street and brand name clothes fashion is his weakness.

john more special the level we often had a knife with us but not a big one that he could still people were afraid of us the way we acted and 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. he kept on playing in the next room this kind of thing wasn't his style where's your come young other guy with the white t. shirt took the 1st cell phone away at the search the kid stuff and stole it without them knowing it. he opened the backpack without anyone noticing and of course he took the phone out. then he and the other coalition took it and left.

von. karajan. 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. queenie. i kept some of it and gave part of it to my mother without telling her where i got it from but what it did for children and older kids or did you mean. by that she never asked where the money came from on the night you know she never asked. though she must have known something was up with a little in the evenings when she came home she'd find on followed by put there containing 300 euros or more i'm going to go for nickels that is we're not 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 on with it was more a matter of necessity because you just don't you know have it in the father love and 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 sort of you get them to answer. but as my dad always said freedom is everything. i don't know because they're careful to not 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 it is that it's what you know just being able to go out on your own or have a beer with friends but all things like that cute little guy in the end if you're locked up you can't do them without him. 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. listen giacomo 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 that it is true good to do just that these kids feel privileged to have received this opportunity where still in their

sport they learn respect for rules and discipline it will show up if they don't respect the rules and are careless they won't have any fun. that should be enough should ensure that you and because the water sports are outdoor activities they also learn respect for the environment for nature and how to protect it going for lunch on which the mum didn't speak to that i'm going to get enough food and they love to do. so despite the fact that she can't swim and. fatima is bravely standing on the board at least for a while. i know that it's a very hot we did it we're happy loving every little. thing. would jump down my religion after the windsurfing they're put to work. 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 whom and 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. example. 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 share it it isn't 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. a little.

confidence in a lookout. 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 i use organized the trade and divvy up the work amongst many other people who then split it up even more you know i'm going 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 photo you only and i had to pay them without getting anything in return so you out of the 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'm very lucky to not be 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. going to. freedom. freedom which i had that to toot on my arm when they locked me away. all of it already got the wrong. people and so forth and that money gold clothes shoes. i generally gee had to answer in court for 7 robberies those charges were later

dropped for 2 he committed as a minor. 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 on at least they see that i'm doing my best they're not throwing me in jail giving me another chance. to get it done a lot of folks were pretty tough. a lot of it i never robbed anybody that's in it 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. for the kid because. it was there

that's just wrong really. but i guess that i do think that it's. like taking the things. i took them and ran off i like that i was too much in my own head fuel shortage 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. for the cause of what i thought of that. gradually fatima is 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 2 separate human was. a cause

a no stress stronghold. giuseppi is a close relative of this is silly and mafias box of all buses mateo messina. one of italy's most wanted criminals he's thought to be responsible for more than 50 murders. you know he's been in hiding for close to 3 decades for many he's a legend and a folk hero. for years does 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. family members including his own brother. but insistently those who break their silence and betray mafia members are shunned and live dangerously. was not limited to out of it's the what their threats don't frighten me do you know why

that's it that's only a few months back a couple of little mafiosi were arrested but when the law 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 pursuit of it i mean that the state is after them and they're stopped before they can do anything and it will come up with a lot that's reassuring at it because i can see the authorities are working the state is there it's not like it was before at least to my knowledge i'm going to look look at a lot of them on the 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. was never going to see you as a mother how could you bear it that your son betrayed your family's mafia members to the authorities or from some are saying you've been here and to find out why.

this one 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 by you know not you know that and also as i can tell. 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 1st children to free us from a needless burden but she knew that there was no alternative it was just 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. like living in a kosan oestrus stronghold. with a j they have this idea that when i ask what i know these guys and they're a bad lot and lot of each other and they're ignorant and they're losers a bunch of their conversations were bugged by the police it's also this when they

talk about us when they talk about the pin and their children if you know what they say cause they tell the story of giuseppe di matteo 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 to 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 because you have rose is referring to a spectacular case which took place in sicily in 1906 the lemon juice epidemic tayo the 14 year old son of a mafia informant was brutally killed by the close in austria in an effort to silence his father but it was put on the number one and so you need to fight the mafia in your own family to get the children of the mafiosi need to tell their parents you disgust me. i often told my father that he disgusted me and he decided

to collaborate with the authorities because he knew that his son had projected him with the 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 at the other. 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 circles and this. can use. to especially when fatima asked the grandmother and she really didn't want to talk.

she wasn't doing so well. but given that. the other my so lots of pain and anger in her yet she said something true i'm still standing in the line of fire. if even . in the end she decided what side she was on. even though she knew it would divide the family. into 2 because you know this from other people down the protests from. 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 strengthened their resolve to stay on the right path. for committed on the lot has changed with me i miss you if you knew me before and see how i am now and judge me on that you'd say with all my friends do you really changed. change on the inside and the outside.

is supposed to do it because of what's important is to understand what we've done and where it's brought us the dim fog cause the stuff i'm the better to be dealt a hard blow now. still some don't that's really made a stop and understand things better. now i know what's important in life because i mean to cause that i go down. on the last evening of the camp that participants learn that a rescue boat with more than 600 refugees on board has approached this is silly and closed but been denied permission to dock their activists in marseilles organize a spontaneous demonstration salvatore and the young people from the liberal camp also take part in a quest over there but you're seeing this frightens us just which is why we need to actively take a stand. a light we're lighting is a symbol that pleases me because we all need to assume responsibility as soon as

one's are rigged up 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 mode. and with that message the camp comes to an end for giacomo john luigi filippo and fight him. they now know that being a guiding light helping others and caring about their fate is yet another way to fight the mafia. well.
