    • Synopsis
    • In the streets of Sicily, beautiful, gutsy Letizia Battaglia pointed her camera straight into the heart of the Mafia that surrounded her and began to shoot. The striking, life-threatening photos she took documenting the rule of the Corleonesi family define her career.

      Battaglia was quite the catch. She married young and had children, yet her restless spirit refused to renounce her passions. Breaking with tradition, she devoted herself to photojournalism. Battaglia’s lens was defiant: though her life was in danger she fearlessly captured every-day Sicilian life—from weddings and funerals to the brutal murders of women and children—to tell the narrative of the community she loved forced into silence.
