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.

01:02:42:09 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

In Sicily the search for employmentis a long story. 

I graduated from schooland signed up for university

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. 

01:04:17:21 01:04:23:19 You might work for a weekand then you're home again, so...

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.

01:05:30:23 01:05:33:21 I got the agronomist's job.

01:05:59:19 01:06:06:16 There were various areas of activity:

tractor drivers, pruners, grafters... 

01:06:06:17 01:06:08:18 I said: "Okay".

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.

01:06:34:02 01:06:38:12 

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

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.

01:10:15:04 01:10:19:07 CARABINIERE 

We have to make out a reporton what we've done,

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:

or farming equipment.

we're going to succeed.

FLORIANA - If we don't ask for a loan 

01:11:50:14 01:11:55:05 how will we get this cooperativeoff the ground?

01:11:55:06 01:11:59:03 In short, we need money.

Where will we get it from? 

SALVATORE GIBIINO 

01:11:59:04 01:12:03:08 You know what, Floriana? We haveto think it through ourselves. 

01:12:03:09 01:12:07:06 We have to keep lookingat these photos 

01:12:07:07 01:12:11:00 and start saying:

"They've assigned us this land, 

01:12:11:01 01:12:13:15 but look at the state it's in." 

FLORIANA DI LEONARDO 

01:12:13:16 01:12:17:08 We had great expectations that day, 

01:12:17:09 01:12:21:20 and a great desire to seethe fields they had assigned to us, 

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. 

01:13:15:01 01:13:18:09

01:13:36:11 01:13:41:04 how to work the plots of land,

because they were totally abandoned. 

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...

Have you received any phone calls

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. 

SPEAKER OF TV ITALIAN NEWS:

01:15:41:03 01:15:44:15 In less than four months,

enough money was collected 

01:15:44:15 01:15:47:06 to purchase the tractor 

01:15:47:06 01:15:51:08 to be used in the cultivation of 120 

hectares confiscated from the Mafia.

01:16:15:20 01:16:19:04 Everyone else was busypreparing for the New Year, 

01:16:19:05 01:16:25:01 while we were really happyto be celebrating by sowing.

01:16:34:17 01:16:38:12 and package our own chickpeasand lentils. 

01:16:55:02 1:16:57:13 Let's go and cover the grain.

- Of course. 

01:17:23:01 01:17:26:01 You can't bring it after 25 days. 

FLORIANA DI LEONARDO. 

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...

01:19:54:05 01:19:59:11 We've made our first honey, 

clover honey. 

01:19:59:12 01:20:01:20 I don't know how many kilos 

we'll get out of it. 

01:20:01:21 01:20:05:15 This laboratory will processthe honey, but it's our first honey!

01:20:08:16 01:20:11:18 Working land confiscatedfrom the Mafia 

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: 21:12 01:20:26:06 You know you are responsiblefor something very important.

you have a project to carry out. 

FLORIANA DI LEONARDO 

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

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

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.

01:24:59:23 01:25:03:20 The region is a birthplaceof a true sense of cooperation

01:25:15:05 01:25:19:10 to visit the vast territories allotted to us

The solidarity of the cooperatives inEmilia Romagna has been fundamental. 

01:25:30:20 01:25:33:08 They helped us with a second tractor,

01:25:33:09 01:25:37:03 with which we were able 

to sow chickpeas and lentils. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO 

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, 

01:25:46:13 01:25:49:01 and the sacrifice of the present. 

01:25:49:02 01:25:53:05 You see, Domenico?

It's already here. 

01:25:54:06 01:26:00:03 - Is this the fertilizer? 

- That's right. Fertilizer pellets. 

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 

and we want legality. 

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

01:26:26:12 01:26:30:03 to make young people seethey do have a future. 

01:26:32:07 01:26:35:19 Tomorrow me, Floriana and Domenicowill be here.... All of us. 

01:26:35:20 01:26:39:03 We'll start planting.

You're here working. 

01:26:39:04 01:26:42:06 - We can't waste any more time. 

- Yes, carry on.

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. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO 

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.

SALVATORE GIBIINO 

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. 

GIUSEPPE CUMIA 

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... 

01:29:51:05 01:29:56:03 CARABINIERE

01:29:56:04 01:30:00:01 because the land has been confiscated 

from the Mafia and the Mafiosi. 

01:30:00:02 01:30:03:15 Things have happened in the pastto cooperatives 

01:30:03:16 01:30:06:19 in charge of property confiscatedfrom the Mafia:

01:30:06:20 01:30:10:15 crops have been burnt,

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. 

FLORIANA DI LEONARDO 

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

01:31:10:14 01:31:12:00 so that we can plant 

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

01:31:14:01 01:31:17:12 which will be our future,

the future of the cooperative. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO: 

01:31:18:00 01:31:23:00 We were a little lost to start off 

with, now we're our own businessmen. 

01:31:23:01 01:31:25:18 We have decided not to pay out wages 

01:31:25:18 01:31:28:02 in order to buy some seeds, 

01:31:28:03 01:31:30:16 to buy the diesel oil

01:31:30:17 01:31:35:16 that we will need for the caterpillarand the tractor, 

01:31:35:17 01:31:39:11 to move all these poles,

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. 

GIUSEPPE CUMIA 

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... 

DOMENICO FIORE 

01:32:26:00 01:32:28:01 It's nice and hard. 

01:32:34:12 01:32:36:24 SALVATORE GIBIINO

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 

01:33:40:22 01:33:44:15 who share the same sentiments.

Didn't the consultant make it up? 

01:34:32:06 01:34:35:14 Did it have to be mine? 

Come on! 

01:34:35:15 01:34:39:16 - I haven't got it, ask Francesca. 

- She gave them all to me. 

01:34:40:18 01:34:42:10 - Stop it! 

- All right. 

01:34:42:11 01:34:46:09 After a year of hardship... 

01:34:47:20 01:34:49:14 Look how it flies.

01:35:09:06 01:35:12:21 and over half of it 

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.

01:35:22:09 01:35:24:12 It's the same thing,

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 

to hang on to the money.

01:35:38:24 01:35:41:06 

we even took some photos.

It was memorable.

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. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO: 

01:37:14:09 01:37:18:11 We had to react quicklyafter the fire. 

01:37:18:11 01:37:22:03 With our friends from Correggio 

we wanted to give them a sign.

ANGELO CARRABBA: 

01:37:29:08 01:37:32:07 When I heard Ligabue was coming, 

01:37:32:08 01:37:37:09 I never really expected him to come. 

01:37:37:10 01:37:41:00 Especially becauseI'm a great fan of his. 

01:37:41:00 01:37:44:19 I counted the daysafter I found out. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO 

01:37:44:19 01:37:47:19 Our friends from Correggioare here to show 

01:37:47:20 01:37:50:17 that the fight against the Mafia,

the fight against injustice 

01:37:50:18 01:37:54:23 and the taking root of legalityin a land that for many years 

01:37:54:24 01:37:58:21 has been the victim of this scourge,

concerns us all. 

01:37:58:22 01:38:02:01 On behalf of the Pio La Torre 

Cooperative I want to thank Luciano 

01:38:02:02 1:38:06:04 who found time, in the middle of allhis commitments, to come and share 

1:38:06:05 01:38:12:04 with us our desire to redeem 

these lands. Thanks.

that things are possible.

Can't you see that?

01:38:30:05 01:38:34:14 That we have less words and more 

action, all of us together! 

01:38:34:15 01:38:39:01 The first Mafia we have to fightin Italy, is that of words. 

01:38:39:02 01:38:41:09 We are here in the name of freedom.

01:38:51:23 01:38:55:22 Luciano, these kidshave worked for a year 

01:38:55:23 01:38:58:21 for one month's wage so far. 

01:38:58:22 01:39:00:24 They are amazing.

01:39:32:05 01:39:37:18 ..what else has to be done? 

-We must remove the drips of paint. 

01:39:37:18 01:39:41:11 - Use this. 

- What's he got? 

01:39:42:18 01:39:46:15 - Floriana's making them nice. 

- The plants will be here on Friday. 

01:39:46:15 01:39:52:04 What happened about the sweeper? 

01:39:52:04 01:39:56:23 If he comes Friday,

he'll have to contact Giuseppe. 

01:39:56:23 01:39:59:17 And if Giuseppe's not here, 

someone else. 

01:40:00:18 01:40:04:14 Domenico, what's up?

You're a little quiet. 

01:40:04:14 01:40:08:09 - You're really nervous. 

- Yes. 

01:40:09:03 01:40:12:01 Schifani the Senate President 

is coming here… 

01:40:12:02 01:40:17:03 He's just a person like everyoneelse. You should cheer up. 

01:40:17:04 01:40:22:08 If it worries you,

look on it as something positive. 

01:40:22:09 01:40:24:05 I want to make a good impression. 

01:40:24:06 01:40:26:07 That's why I'm worried. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO AND OTHERS 

01:40:28:03 01:40:30:04 We've rushed things along 

01:40:30:05 01:40:35:03 so that when the day comesfor the handing over of the farmhouse 

01:40:35:04 01:40:37:12 we'll have everything finished.

01:40:37:13 01:40:40:11 We have worn ourselves 

out with work 

01:40:40:12 01:40:43:00 in order to be readyfor that date. 

01:40:43:00 01:40:46:12 And now I have to tell youthat it's been postponed. 

01:40:46:13 01:40:50:00 It's no longer the 22nd, 

it's been put back. 

01:40:50:01 1:40:54:09 If on one hand 

it is a disappointment, 

1:40:54:10 1:41:00:05 on the other we have the chance 

to take our time doing things. 

1:41:00:06 01:41:03:11 - So... 

-It's not bad news. 

01:41:03:12 01:41:07:19 We can take our time now,

and do a better job of it. 

SALVATORE GIBIINO: 

01:41:17:20 01:41:21:10 To tell the truth 

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. 

01:41:35:24 01:41:41:05 UBERTO DI MAGGIO 

Unfortunately, quite cynically,

those are the laws.

01:41:41:05 01:41:44:23 

UMBERTO DI MAGGIO 

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.

DOMENICO 

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.

WORKER 

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 &
