The Sicilian Girl

directed by Marco Amenta
starring Veronica D'Agostino, Gérard Jugnot, Francesco Casisa, Marcello Mazzarella, Mario Pupella, Paolo Briguglia

The true story of 17-year-old Sicilian Rita Atria (Veronica D’Agostino) — who broke the Sicilian Mafia’s code of silence and testified against the “family business” after both her father and then her brother are both murdered — is brought to vivid life in Marco Amenta’s hard-hitting and wonderfully acted drama.
