We live in their buildings, work in their companies, shop in their stores, eat in their restaurants, and elect politicians they fund. So why have so few ever heard of the ’Ndrangheta? Founded 140 years ago in Italy’s toe, the Calabrian mafia’s $100 billion global empire relies on a code of silence enforced by family and violent misogyny. Girls are married off as teens to seal clan alliances. Women who rebel are executed to “erase the family shame.”When Lea Garofalo “disappears” after testifying against her husband, prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti becomes convinced that the ’Ndrangheta’s sexism could be its greatest flaw. Alessandra sets out to persuade two more mafia mothers to give evidence, humble the ’Ndrangheta, and expose it to the world. The stakes could not be higher. A prosecutor is fighting for her nation. The mafiosi are fighting for their existence. The women are fighting for their lives. Not all will survive.
