Event Details : Screening of the film 'Gomorrah'.

The movie intertwines five separate stories of Italians whose lives are touched by organized crime. Don Ciro is a timid middleman, who distributes money to the families of imprisoned clan members. When making a delivery, he is ambushed by two angry clan members. They explain to him their families were murdered by the clan and want retribution, and that they have no need for a money-carrier. Instead, Ciro leads them to the location where he is given the money for distribution. The pair raid the place, killing everyone but Ciro, and take the money. Ciro quietly walks off to an uncertain future. Totò is a 13-year-old grocery delivery boy who observes some drug dealers ditching some drugs and a gun when running from the police. He returns the items to the gang. Soon after he is accepted into the gang. Roberto is a graduate who works in toxic waste management. His boss Franco illegally dumps the waste in disused mines. During an operation, a drum of toxic chemicals is accidentally spilt on a driver. His boss refuses to call an ambulance, and when the workers refuse to handle the waste, he instead hires children to drive the trucks. When his boss decides to increase his illegal dumping, Roberto can no longer contain his disgust and quits. Pasquale is a haute couture tailor who takes a night-job training Chinese garment workers. Because they are competing with Camorra-controlled firms, the Chinese drive him to and from work in the trunk of their car. His secret work is discovered and on a ride home two gunmen on a scooter open fire on the car. He survives and leaves town, taking a job as a truck driver. Marco and Ciro are two cocky wannabe gangsters who spy Camorra gangsters hiding a stash of weapons. They steal the weapons and amuse themselves by firing off rounds by the riverbank. One day, out of money, they use their guns to rob a casino. They spend their money at a strip club, where the angry gangsters find them and threaten to kill them if they don't return the weapons within a day.
