In 1978 Peppino (30 years old) was killed by an explosion. The police archived the case as an accident or a suicide, but his friends never accepted this thesis. Note: This is a true story. More than twenty years after Peppino's death, the case has been re-opened. Tano Badalamenti, meanwhile, has been convicted in USA for drug traffic.

    A true story of Peppino Impastato, a boy who hit adulthood in Sicily during the turbulent 60's and 70's and who spent his life fighting for Communism and against the Mafia.

    The movie tells about Peppino Impastato, a great personality against the Mafia! The courage of a contest engaged with honour with Badalamenti, the boss who lived just 100 passi (steps) far away his house!

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.
