Season 1
Overview
How, from 1974 to 1993, Totò Riina (1930-2017), supreme boss of the Corleone family, ruled by blood and terror over the Sicilian Mafia. An implacable account, based on the testimony of his men and those who fought against them.
Episodes
1. Blood-Soaked Power
How the Sicilian peasant Salvatore Riina (1930-2017), known as Totò, came to power, thus becoming supreme boss of the Corleone family and subjecting the entire Sicilian Mafia to a relentless regime of terror for two decades.
2. The Fall
How Totò Riina (1930-2017) was defeated, thanks to the brave efforts of many good Italians, led by prosecuting magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, and the detailed accounts of mafioso Tommaso Buscetta and other repentant criminals; plus the tragic narrative of the price that many of them had to pay to get so. An epic story that deserves to be told.
