him this shows a knife next to it's written think before you stab me. once the drawing is done it's time for the next activity. so now the others have already left. her costume and a friend are on their way to a shop that the italian state confiscated from a mafia boss. this activity was capturing his idea. and there was great big guy we need someone like you. to. more than 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 e bay era. through its initiatives lee better aims to show. the change is possible

of ali. 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 vera 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. gen luigi is 19 years old and a convicted robber. jacko who's 16 was also convicted of robbery. not. because you're 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 need 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. jen the radio 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 little i generally just spent the money he got from mugging people on the street and brand name clothes fashion is his weakness. the charm or 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 direct your part of the letters it should be an interloper love 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. well. the guy with the white t. shirt took the 1st cellphone 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 coworkers used took it and left.

me back to. him but i started robbing so i'd have some money. i mean was he 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. queeny. i kept some of it and gave part of it to my mother without telling her where i got it from but with it in order for children and my kids are getting into. the other she never asked where the money came from on the night you know she never asked us and so though she must have known something was up with one of those in the evenings when she came home she'd find on followed by put there containing 300 euros or more and then i'm going to give her a nickel that is when i committed a robbery i never came home in a good mood just because i was never happy about it because i knew what i'd done wasn't good and i thought it was more a matter of necessity because you just don't you know have it 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 closer to me go to them to answer. me but as my dad always said freedom is everything. he was. going to cause a good pool for another one to me but given to the other so to the rest can stop you in your tracks and only when your freedoms taken away do you realize how important this is with 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 camp. see you should if you do just that these kids feel privileged to have received this opportunity to show their sport they learn respect for rules and discipline it will show that if they don't respect the rules and are careless they won't have any fun and that we should we 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 no one shall move the mouse did we speak of them being that enough food to do. so despite the fact that she can't swim. team a is bravely standing on the board at least for a while. and that it's an uphill fight that we did it we're happy loving every bit of. the story. and we're jumping. jafta 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. to me 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 my and when they're doing well i feel better to. get involved take care and care for others working for the community as a major blow against the mafia. pick up a bottle of. 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. the little. to 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 on a list because if i use they organize the trade and divvy up the work amongst many other people who then split it up even more i don't mean to show you that that goes on all the way down the pyramid and i was right at the bottom going into the photo you in the end i had to pay them without getting anything in return so you 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 a very large enough for me it was about the adrenaline rush that's why i took drugs but 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 meet 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 toot on my own when they lock me away. all of it all break up with the. amount of my mug people until phones and their money gold clothes shoes. generally gee had to answer in court for 7 robberies those charges were later dropped for 2 he committed as a minor. some up on 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 over at least they see that i'm doing my best they're not throwing me in jail for giving me another chance but my god you know you've done a lot for me thought. 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. but 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. gradually factum it 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 to separate human was because of a trial a cause a no stress stronghold. giuseppi is

a close relative of the sicilian mafia xbox of all buses mateo messina dinero one of italy's most wanted criminals he's thought to be responsible for more than 50 murders. dinero has been in hiding for close to 3 decades for many he's a legend and a folk hero. for years just up his 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 insistently those who break their silence and betray mafia members are shunned and live dangerously. was limited. to 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 little connel with the law 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 i'm going to look look at 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 a bit of a year as a mother how could you bear it that your son betrayed your family's mafia members to the authorities because some are saying you didn't understand why you think this is a man who still standing in the line of fire ok. 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 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 but she knew that there was no alternative she knew the dynamics she didn't reject him she stayed by a side until his dying day. on the day most the company was either going to fund them or. or what. it's like living in a kosan oestrus stronghold. it was i did that when i was but i know these guys and they're a bad lot and much of the entire ignorant and they're losers pancetta their conversations were bugged by the police it's all saw this when they talk about us when they talk about the pin detail 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 shipped 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's a look at what you have rosa is referring to a spectacular case which took place in sicily in 1906 in with the much example 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 he didn't even get off the phone number one and 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 he decided to collaborate with the authorities because he knew that his son had rejected him the father knows 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 that was. 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 from the get that was really interesting and touching. the senator from the circles into his. canoes. and into specially when fatima asked the grandmother and she really didn't want to talk. she wasn't doing so well.

but given the focus of 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 you because you knew some 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 strengthen their resolve to stay on the right path. from a 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 would all my friends do this 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 comfort to cause us government better to be dealt a hard blow now which. still some don't that's really made a stop and understand things better. now i know what's important in life because of it i mean cause 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 enclosed 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 for their 1st you're seeing this frightens us just which is why we need to actively take a stand not a life where lighting is a symbol that pleases me because we all need to assume responsibility for sinners wants 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 to stop the

always limited thing to god in language of him or them. and with that message the camp comes to an end for giacomo john luigi filippo and fatima. they now know that being a guiding light helping others and caring about their fate is yet another way to fight the mafia.
