01:02:06:11 01:02:09:05 Sicily was literally on its knees.
01:02:09:06 01:02:12:22 I remember Palermo and the Brancaccio
district, where I grew up,
01:02:12:23 01:02:14:23 licking their wounds.
01:02:23:09 01:02:29:20 "Libera" was created when it became
time to reconstruct the social base,
01:02:29:21 01:02:33:13 to rebuild Italy,
starting from the bottom.
01:02:33:14 01:02:36:14 The first task you giveyourself is a humble one.
01:02:36:15 01:02:42:08 From Bolzano to Pachino, from thefurthest north to the deepest south,
01:02:42:09 01:02:44:11 we had to collect signatures.
01:02:46:05 01:02:48:16 They collected a thousand signatures,

01:03:14:02 01:03:17:24 in these towns, historicallyunder the control of the Mafia,
01:03:17:24 01:03:20:06 there was a desire

01:03:46:22 01:03:49:02 I took two exams,
but soon dropped out,
01:03:49:02 01:03:53:01 because it was too difficult
and too expensive.
01:03:53:01 01:03:57:14 I started to look for work,
with great difficulty, but...
01:03:57:14 01:04:01:24 I started doing odd jobs,
as a farmhand, as a brickie,
01:04:01:24 01:04:04:10 in removals...
I did a bit of everything. Gardening.

If you don't have the right contacts
01:04:12:13 01:04:17:21 it's very difficult.
So the work you find is short-term.

01:04:57:22 01:05:01:14 I had been chosen to be one
of the Cooperative's members.
01:05:01:15 01:05:03:14 I was to be the agronomist.

tractor drivers, pruners, grafters...

then gradually...
01:06:24:08 01:06:27:18 I realised I had got through.
01:06:27:19 01:06:30:23 The training courselasts about two months.

Some of the guys will besent to work with cooperatives.
01:06:38:13 01:06:41:14 The pruners and tractor drivers
will train with them,
01:06:41:15 01:06:46:18 while I will be flanked byan agronomist, a woman,
01:06:46:19 01:06:52:04 and together we will set up abusiness plan for this cooperative.
UMBERTO DI MAGGIO:
01:06:52:05 01:06:55:11 We were looking for people,
who, when put together
01:06:55:12 01:06:57:13 in a selfish land,
01:06:57:14 01:07:01:06 characterized by individualism,
01:07:01:07 01:07:07:21 and solitary atomsin a decomposing universe,
01:07:07:22 01:07:10:23 would work together.
And it was very complicated.
01:07:10:24 01:07:15:12 It's hard enough to find businessmen,
but to find 15 of them

S.GIBIINO -It's my job.
01:07:41:03 01:07:43:08 I have a chance
to work as an agronomist.
01:07:43:09 01:07:47:07 Perhaps we should allhave a little more courage...
01:07:47:08 01:07:49:09 ..at this point.
FATHER -On confiscated land?
01:07:49:10 01:07:55:20 S.GIBIINO - I've taken that into account.

01:10:24:17 01:10:29:10 and say that we have cut the chains
in order to enter the property.
01:10:29:11 01:10:35:20 Then you must do an inventoryon all the equipment you found here,
01:10:35:21 01:10:40:219 send it to the Sviluppo and Legalit‡
Consortium, and a copy to us.
SALVATORE GIBIINO:

It's all stony.
01:11:23:17 01:11:26:13 We have calculated
we have 100 hectares,
01:11:26:14 01:11:30:16 but we have to remove the stones
on half of it. For a vineyard.
01:11:30:17 01:11:34:00 And we have to go 500,000 eurosinto debt?
01:11:34:01 01:11:37:18 I think we have to start...
They've giving us advice,
01:11:37:19 01:11:44:15 but we still have to form

01:11:44:16 01:11:47:14 .and we're already in debt?

01:12:21:21 01:12:23:22 but as we gradually singled them out,
01:12:23:23 01:12:26:00 by driving around the area,
01:12:26:00 01:12:29:00 because they were scatteredhere and there,
01:12:29:01 01:12:33:02 we realised the land was totallyabandoned, destroyed,
01:12:33:03 01:12:37:07 and in a disastrous condition, andthe task of getting it fertile again
01:12:37:08 01:12:39:09 was going to be a huge job.
SALVATORE GIBIINO:
01:12:39:09 01:12:44:00 We need a plough, anda machine for working the vineyards.
01:12:44:01 01:12:47:09 We don't have a thing.
We have 100 hectares of land,
01:12:47:10 01:12:51:15 we thought we would get offto a wonderful start

01:12:51:16 01:12:53:22 and we don't even
have the tractors!
01:12:53:23 01:12:58:10 We thought we would have a wageat the end of the month.
01:12:58:11 01:13:00:10 - But we won't.
- We must explain to the guys
01:13:00:11 01:13:03:04 that the situation is bleak.
Some have realised that.
01:13:03:05 01:13:08:07 - And the others are starting to.
FLORIANA- There's a lot of work to do...
01:13:08:08 01:13:11:09 - Before...
- They won't support us
01:13:11:10 01:13:15:01 in the work of recoveringthe land, I get that impression.

SALVATORE GIBIINO:
01:13:41:05 01:13:44:18 With things how they are,
we can't carry on.
01:13:44:19 01:13:48:01 We won't be able to pay offthe loan we've taken on.
01:13:48:02 01:13:53:23 I tell you what. Let's forgetabout it and tell them the story,
01:13:53:24 01:13:57:12 the way we see it.
We can't carry on like this.
01:13:58:06 01:14:04:02 I've received another phone call.
I'll tell you what we'll do.
01:14:04:03 01:14:08:13 The president of the CorreggioTown Council called me,
01:14:08:14 01:14:10:19 his name's Guido.
01:14:10:20 01:14:16:21 He was interested in
the Pio La Torre Cooperative,
01:14:16:22 01:14:21:20 and he asked me to send him
some details about our work here.
01:14:21:21 01:14:24:13 He's from the Emilia Romagna Region.
01:14:24:14 01:14:27:02 We'll start by tellingpeople about this.
01:14:27:03 01:14:30:20 I have sent some e-mails out,
let's see what happens.
01:14:30:20 01:14:37:04 I've seen people interested and verysensitive to what's going on here.
01:14:37:05 01:14:43:17 Right now we don't have any...

01:14:43:18 01:14:45:18 ..from Sicilian organizations?
FLORIANA -It'll certainly...
01:14:45:19 01:14:50:01 That's where the Resistance took
place. They know about struggle.
01:14:50:02 01:14:56:10 We have remained on this land,
we are struggling not to leave it,
01:14:56:11 01:14:59:07 we want to work here.
But with no equipment...
01:14:59:08 01:15:02:23 FLORIANA..how will we do that?
-We have to make a start.
01:15:02:24 01:15:08:10 We have to do something, rollour sleeves up and find the funds.
01:15:08:11 01:15:12:17 - We have to find some money.
S.GIBIINO- We need tools before money.
01:15:12:18 01:15:17:09 That's what I realised from that
phone call. They want to help us.
01:15:17:10 01:15:22:01 They want to help this stancetaken up by young Sicilians
01:15:22:01 01:15:24:00 who want to redeem this island.
01:15:24:01 01:15:28:04 We could learn something from them,
01:15:28:05 01:15:30:05 it could have important results.

01:17:31:21 01:17:34:23 In a cooperative,
decisions are made all together.
01:17:34:24 01:17:39:18 It's obvious that each one of us
has a precise task.
01:17:39:19 01:17:44:16 Me and Salvo, the president ofthe cooperative, are agronomists.
01:17:44:17 01:17:50:21 The others are farmhands,
specialized workers, tractor drivers.
SALVATORE GIBIINO
01:17:50:22 01:17:56:08 Don't make any more calls, we don'thave any funds to pay the bill.
01:17:56:08 1:17:59:11 FLORIANA Who decides? We all do really.
01:18:06:07 01:18:11:08 - Hello?
- Have you agreed? Can we deliberate?
SALVATORE GIBIINO:
01:18:14:13 01:18:20:03 Putting fifteen people together,
at the time,
01:18:20:04 01:18:24:14 with different ways of lifeand expectations,
01:18:24:15 01:18:27:01 from different backgrounds...

01:18:27:02 01:18:31:00 Putting them togetherand sharing a dream...
01:18:31:01 01:18:32:23 And everyone has his own dreams,
01:18:32:24 01:18:36 :22 ambitions are personal,
and so are one's limitations.
01:18:37:23 01:18:43:15 Putting this all togetherwas the greatest challenge,1
01:18:45:07 01:18:48:21 which went hand in hand
with the other great challenge,
01:18:48:22 01:18:51:17 that of gettingThe cooperative going,
01:18:51:18 01:18:55:11 turning it into a real business.
That's what we are doing.
01:19:17:22 01:19:21:23 We have begun an activity we neverexpected to get started this year,
01:19:21:23 01:19:24:04 and that's beekeeping.
BEEKIPING
01:19:24:05 01:19:29:13 This is a passion I had evenbefore I joined the cooperative.
01:19:29:14 01:19:34:20 When I saw the public noticefor the job, I wanted
01:19:37:04 01:19:40:17 to do beekeepinginside the cooperative.
01:19:40:18 01:19:44:17 We are already producingtotally biological honey
01:19:44:18 01:19:51:10 as we place the hives where thereare no chemicals in the fields.
01:19:51:11 01:19:54:04 And seeing it is biological honey...

01:20:11:19 01:20:15:13 is something new,
something strange
1:20:17:04 01:20: 21:11 compared to other jobs. Perhapsone of the strangest jobs there is.

01:20:34:00 01:20:36:24 I became a worker
In this cooperative,
01:20:36:24 01:20:39:12 because I believe in this project.
01:20:39:12 01:20:44:02 I've followed it right from the startand I really believe in it.
01:20:44:02 01:20:49:02 Perhaps it's also because of the
other people involved in the project.
01:20:53:19 01:20:56:11 In this vineyard...
we have the usual problem01:20:57:05 01:21:01:13 when it comes to confiscated land,
01:21:01:14 01:21:04:03 in the majority of cases at least.

01:21:04:04 01:21:08:10 The highest part ofthe vineyard up there, borders...
01:21:08:11 01:21:12:22 The vineyard continuesover the hill,
01:21:12:23 01:21:17:11 but it's shared
with the old owner,
01:21:17:12 01:21:20:23 that is, the son of the old owner.
01:21:20:24 01:21:26:11 And we get the classical situationin which confiscated land
01:21:26:12 01:21:32:06 is often adjacent to land ownedby the old owner, if you're unlucky,
01:21:32:07 01:21:37:19 or, in this case,
the son who cultivates land
01:21:37:20 01:21:39:19 that has not been confiscated.
01:22:01:24 01:22:05:02 SALVATORE GIBIINO:
We have recentlyfinished mapping out the land.
01:22:05:03 01:22:08:07 We have noticed...
01:22:08:08 01:22:10:22 As we have noticed other times,
01:22:10:23 01:22:13:05 that during the period
01:22:13:06 01:22:15:09 between the confiscation
and the assignment,
1:22:15:10 01:22:19:21 those farming the land next to theconfiscated land move the borders,
01:22:19:22 01:22:23:18 either because they don't realise,
or because the land looks abandoned,
Bizef Produzione srl
Via S.S Quattro 25 a – 00165 - Roma I P.Iva e C.F. 08560231006 I Capitale sociale €10.000,00
01:22:23:19 01:22:28:22 and they increase their area.
So when we go there with the plans
01:22:28:23 01:22:32:05 and expect to finda certain number of hectares,
01:22:32:06 01:22:34:12 we find it is much less.
01:22:34:13 01:22:37:09 When there are discrepancies,
we turn to the Carabinieri
01:22:37:10 01:22:40:00 and they investigate.
01:22:40:01 01:22:44:19 They are on our side and they make usfeel the state's presence.
01:22:54:06 01:22:57:08 I've brought,
as you asked me to,
01:22:57:09 01:23:01:12 the contract stating the landhas been assigned to us.
CARABINIERE
01:23:01:13 01:23:04:08 Perfect!
Which bit of land is it?
01:23:04:09 01:23:07:01 - That's it there.
- Where the antenna is?
SALVATORE GIBIINO:
01:23:07:02 01:23:11:15 That's right. We have the pondand an old house as references.
CARABINIERE
01:23:11:16 01:23:15:19 Perfect. And where is
the problem with the borders?
SALVATORE GIBIINO:
01:23:15:20 01:23:20:15 The land should measure
about 4 and a half hectares,
01:23:20:16 01:23:25:22 but at a guess,
if we look at this plan here,
01:23:25:23 01:23:28:14 and taking the pondas a reference,
Bizef Produzione srl
Via S.S Quattro 25 a – 00165 - Roma I P.Iva e C.F. 08560231006 I Capitale sociale €10.000,00
01:23:28:15 1:23:31:00 the border should be higher up.
01:23:31:00 01:23:34:19 The old owner, the neighbour
S.GIBIINO/CARABINIERE01:23:34:20 01:23:37:23 ..has encroached on our side.
- He's farmed your land.
01:23:37:24 01:23:41:21 - Yes, practically.
- Is the sown land yours?
SALVATORE GIBIINO:
01:23:41:22 01:23:44:22 From the plans... here.
01:23:44:23 01:23:48:04 This should be the pond,
01:23:48:05 01:23:51:09 there's the house, the building.
CARABINIERE
01:23:51:10 01:23:55:09 This is the border.
So the owner of this land here
CARABINIERE/GIBIINO01:23:55:10 01:23:58:04 ..has farmed this far.
-That's right.
01:23:58:05 01:24:02:02 - All right.
- We'll have to...
CARABINIERE
01:24:02:03 01:24:06:18 We'll trace it back to the owner on
the land register, we'll call him in
01:24:06:19 01:24:10:23 and inform him.
Give me a couple of days.
01:24:10:24 01:24:15:06 We'll let you know, and we'll warn
him not to farm that land any more.

01:25:40:11 01:25:43:07 Sowing the landis an important moment.
01:25:43:08 01:25:45:20 It encloses all our expectations,

01:26:12:05 01:26:15:21 Freeing this landmeans making an important gesture,
01:26:15:22 01:26:18:23 it shows the Mafia we exist

01:26:22:03 01:26:26:12 This is a revolutionary wayof fighting Mafia mentality,

01:27:21:13 01:27:24:21 they were renovated and turnedinto a holiday farm.
01:27:24:22 01:27:29:07 And they assigned themto our cooperative,
01:27:29:08 01:27:33:00 or rather, they still haveto hand them over.
01:27:34:05 01:27:38:23 They've given us a chance to work.
01:27:40:05 01:27:43:20 So, we'll have
to see what happens.

01:27:44:14 01:27:46:21 The place is on hold.
01:27:46:22 01:27:49:10 They have to finishthe renovation work,
01:27:49:11 01:27:51:16 and complete the inspection.
01:27:51:17 01:27:55:03 So we are waitingany minute now
01:27:55:04 01:27:59:00 for the person doing the inspection
DOMENICO FIORE
01:27:59:00 01:28:04:04 To tell us: "Guys, today we willinspect the whole building."
01:28:05:13 01:28:08:14 There's a big hall as you go in.
01:28:10:23 01:28:16:11 Along this side I'd like to have
a piano bar area, perhaps.
01:28:16:12 01:28:18:12 Along this side.
01:28:18:13 01:28:23:22 I'd like the people who come here
01:28:23:23 01:28:30:11 to try out our typical Siciliandishes, more elaborate ones maybe.

01:28:40:12 01:28:43:06 You have to get used to the idea
01:28:43:07 01:28:46:11 that something might happen.
01:28:46:12 01:28:51:04 Like the things they warned us aboutquite clearly at the interview.

01:29:25:22 01:29:29:20 In one of the placeswhere we have land,
01:29:29:21 01:29:34:06 and in the surrounding area,
there are people
01:29:34:07 01:29:36:23 who have been arrested.
01:29:36:24 01:29:43:00 And being townspeople, you can tellwhose side people are on.
01:29:43:00 01:29:47:22 Every time we went past, we'd be
watched, they'd stop at a distance,
01:29:47:23 01:29:51:04 get out, look what we were doing...

farming equipment damaged
01:30:10:16 01:30:16:04 and other problems... They often
tell us they see cars drive by
01:30:16:05 01:30:19:24 with people they don't know,
and they feel they're being watched.
01:30:28:10 01:30:31:18 ANGELO CARRABBA:
My real fear isbeing without a job.
01:30:31:19 01:30:34:06 I don't think what can happen to me,
01:30:34:07 01:30:37:10 because you can't doanything without money.
01:30:37:11 01:30:41:20 That's what scares me, beingunemployed and having no money.
01:30:41:21 01:30:44:10 Every job has its own risks.

01:31:06:01 01:31:10:13 Today we have startedpulling up the old vines,

01:31:12:01 01:31:14:00 a new vineyard,

01:31:50:17 01:31:55:00 Working 3, 4, 5 monthswithout a wage
01:31:55:01 01:31:57:14 makes you wantto give up the idea.

01:31:57:15 01:32:01:15 For eighteen months we worked
01:32:01:16 01:32:02:16 and even invested money,
01:32:02:17 01:32:05:16 because we used our own vehicles
and diesel oil
01:32:05:17 01:32:08:02 in order to carry out the workin the cooperative
01:32:08:03 01:32:11:08 without even seeing a cent.
We saw our first wage...

01:32:51:24 01:32:54:21 This is the first harvest,
we've had a good yield.
01:32:54:22 01:32:57:09 We invested a great dealin biological fertilizer
01:32:57:10 01:33:00:20 because this land had
been abandoned for years,
01:33:00:21 01:33:07:02 so when we sowed, we spenta lot on fertilizer.
01:33:08:05 01:33:10:10 Every grain holdsthe sacrifices we've made.
01:33:10:11 01:33:16:17 Being without a wage for a year,
giving up time with one's family,
01:33:16:18 01:33:18:22 working more thanthe regular eight hours.
01:33:18:23 01:33:24:15 Stefano from Placido Rizzotto is
helping with the combine harvester.
01:33:24:16 01:33:28:19 The two cooperativesare perfectly integrated.
01:33:28:00 01:33:31:21 We collaborate without botheringwhat is yours and what is mine.
01:33:31:22 01:33:36:10 In the end this grain will end upin the same packet of pasta.
01:33:36:11 01:33:38:219 That's what cooperatives are:
01:33:38:20 01:33:40:21 putting lots of people together

went to the mechanic.
01:35:12:22 01:35:16:07 With the rest I bought a suit,
something like that.
01:35:16:08 01:35:18:22 It just disappeared.

it was my first wage
01:35:25:14 01:35:28:09 and I didn't want to spend itstraight away.
01:35:28:10 01:35:31:16 After eighteen months,
01:35:31:17 01:35:34:18 it was nice

When we realised
01:36:26:10 01:36:28:15 we were really upsetbecause this olive grove
01:36:29:21 01:36:33:12 had given us our first crop,
and we'd made our first oil.
FLORIANA DI LEONARDO:
01:36:33:13 01:36:37:07 Unfortunately, we werenot able to establish for sure
01:36:37:08 01:36:39:13 whether it was a case of arson01:36:39:14 01:36:44:10 or whether it broke out on its own.
Though I don't believe it did.
01:36:52:05 01:36:55:07 It's not easy to single outthe Mafia,
01:36:55:07 01:36:59:00 it's not easy to realisewhat it is and where it is.
01:36:59:00 01:37:02:14 You have to learn to look around,
01:37:02:15 01:37:04:21 and understand,
and open your eyes
01:37:04:21 01:37:08:19 to see things as they really are,
01:37:08:20 01:37:11:04 and not what that want you to see.
01:37:11:05 01:37:14:08 Perhaps that way you get an ideaof what the Mafia is.

look on it as something positive.

we have some problems
01:41:21:11 01:41:24:10 that the authorities
should be quicker at solving.
01:41:24:11 01:41:26:10 Because confiscated property
01:41:26:11 01:41:31:10 is no ordinary property,
it needs treating with care.
01:41:31:11 01:41:35:23 Because an extra daymakes a big difference to us.

Unfortunately, quite cynically,
those are the laws.

So if the farmhouse business
were to solve its problems
01:41:44:24 01:41:49:10 and get started over the nextfew months, it would be a miracle.
01:41:49:11 01:41:52:11 And goodness knows how many otherproblems they will find.
01:41:52:12 01:41:54:21 They'll solve them,
01:41:54:22 01:41:59:13 but if we had told these 15
businessmen, who made this choice,
01:41:59:14 01:42:04:19 all the problems they wouldhave had to tackle,
01:42:04:20 01:42:07:00 they would have thrown itback in our face.
SALVATORE GIBIINO /FLORIANA ANDTHE OTHERS
01:42:11:18 01:42:14:20 I called the guys at the vineyard.
01:42:14:21 01:42:17:18 Out of six peoplewho should have been there,
01:42:17:19 01:42:23:08 two of then didn't turn up.
That means...
WORKER
01:42:23:09 01:42:27:00 If I were in charge here,
I'd send them packing.
01:42:27:01 01:42:29:07 This is...
01:42:29:08 01:42:33:05 If you don't sort it out straightaway, it'll get even worse.

01:42:33:06 01:42:38:17 We can all go and harvest grapesby the day, the way they do.
01:42:38:18 01:42:42:16 They're in charge of the vineyard,

01:42:42:17 01:42:48:06 but I can also decide
to go and harvest grapes too,
01:42:48:07 01:42:52:13 then I'll make some money,
seeing I haven't seen any as yet.
SALVATORE GIBIIINO
01:42:52:14 01:42:55:13 -It's not right.
- I always find the same people here,
01:42:55:14 01:42:59:19 I go there and seethe same few people at work.
01:42:59:20 01:43:03:01 We need the others,
but they're not there.
01:43:03:02 01:43:06:14 This really pisses me off.
We bust our asses
01:43:06:15 01:43:11:00 and then the others decide
not to turn up.
01:43:11:01 01:43:14:12 We need everybody,
this is a critical stage
01:43:14:13 01:43:17:15 and it's in moments like these
that we are put to the test.
01:43:17:16 01:43:21:10 This is a cooperative, which meansit's founded on solidarity.
01:43:21:11 01:43:24:10 That means we have
to help each other out.
01:43:24:11 01:43:26:12 But that's not how it works here.
FLORIANA DI LEONARDO
01:43:26:12 01:43:32:10 In the meantime we'll send
these people a written warning,
01:43:32:11 01:43:37:21 because I can understand one or two
days, but some have left
01:43:37:22 01:43:40:17 without even letting us know.
01:43:40:18 01:43:42:08 And that's not right.

I have a temper... I'd betterpretend I've not heard that.
01:43:46:22 01:43:50:15 They can't say:
"I might be, I might not be."
01:43:50:16 01:43:55:04 You're either part of it or you're
not! Don't take the piss!
01:43:55:05 01:44:01:18 SALVATORE GIBBINO
The situation is disastrous,
and we have to face it straight on.
01:44:01:19 01:44:09:03 SALVATORE GIBBINO
We're sending out a written warning.
They've walked out on the harvest.
01:44:09:04 01:44:12:23 The harvest is essential
for the cooperative's success.
01:44:21:06 01:44:25:00 Some people are not interestedin this production,
01:44:25:00 01:44:27:00 but it means such a lot to us.
01:44:27:01 01:44:30:08 These grapes are an intermediarybetween us and the plant
01:44:30:09 01:44:32:08 which is telling us:
"Perhaps you can save me".
01:44:32:09 01:44:33:23 We have to save the vineyard.
01:44:33:24 01:44:39:17 Right now the dilemma the cooperativefaces is whether to harvest or not
01:44:39:18 01:44:42:02 on this land.
01:44:42:03 01:44:44:22 The problem isthat the partners are tired.

01:44:44:23 01:44:48:01 We haven't been paidfor eighteen months.
01:44:48:02 01:44:51:12 And this makes it...
01:44:53:04 01:44:59:03 And this creates problems for peoplebecause they have...
01:45:01:12 01:45:05:07 You have to consider this too &
