Cineteca Film Screening - "I cento passi" ["One Hundred Steps"]

“I cento passi” commemorates Peppino Impastato’s daring rebellion against his own family and the mafia system in a small Sicilian town. Peppino, who grew up one hundred steps away from the home of a powerful mafia boss, refused to accept the domination of mafiosi and began broadcasting a local radio show condemning the crimes committed by the mafia and ridiculing the major players. A powerful and tragic tale of revolt and subjugation, “I cento passi" is an important story not to forget.
