Letizia Battaglia stopped photographing dead bodies after the death of Falcone. She was disgusted when looking at her photos up until she decided she could re-create the story and re-image the pictures. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

Letizia Battaglia was a a photojournalist. She captured pictures of dead bodies after the Mafia wars. She did this to show how corrupt and violent Palermo is. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

Professor Lazzi devoted a full page to each of the victims. Being able to public online meant she could upload photos freely and didn't have to get copy rights. She could attach links to interview of the family of the victims. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

Victim's determined Professor Lazzi's open access because she wanted their stories to freely circulate and for them to be remembered. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

Giuseppe went by three ethical codes: Truth, Freedom, and Justice. The mafia's status is compared to a disease that prevents their ability to attain these three things.

Giuseppe Fava was a journalist that spoke against organized crime. He was televised and denounced the mafia and brought up the names of the Mafiosi. He was shot to death shortly after #antimafianewmedia #celi3

Mafia says they can stop the damage happening outside of restaurants and in return the owners would pay them taxes (pizzo). Pizzo shouldn't become a normality. People who pay pizzo should be looked at as people who have no humility. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

Libero Gracy was the first to publicly announce and rally other business owners to no pay the pizzo. This was dangerous because he was breaking omerta and did so publicly. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

Rosario had thought he left the mafia life behind, but ended up returning back to his old ways. This shows how once you become part of the mafia, you will always have ties to them. You are never completely free. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

The story of Rosario and Diego is yet another case of how the mafia takes precedence over blood family. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

In "Brave Men" Lucia gets back at one of the men that sexually harassed her. She embarrassed him and shot his legs. Easily could've killed him, but let him suffer instead. She looked like a boss doing that, even more so than the men in the film.#antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

In "Brave Men" Lucia is a part of the Sacra Corona Unita Mafia but she doesn't receive the same amount of respect as the others (men) in the gang. She is repeatedly sexually harassed. This seems to be a trend of the mafia, to look down play women. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

At the end of 100 steps, it shows how Tano doesn't see the evil he has done. Instead he only says that he is someone who provides food to the hungry and jobs to the jobless. But in reality all the favors he's given, came with a cost. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

Peppino didn't want the mafia and the actions of the mafia to be normalized he stated something very important when he said "We must rebel before it's too late, before we get use to their faces, before we go completely blind".

In "Testagrossa Agrees" we see that the Mafia will do favors (such as getting someone out of a prison sentence), in exchange for their freedom. When a favor is provided, their obedience is given in return. The children have to do as they command #antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

It's a terrible fact that in the mafia when you kill anyone...whether its a man, a woman, or a child, you will automatically be "promoted" within the criminal gang. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

In the Reasoning of the Blessed Paulists we learn that they view the mafia as partaking in the construction of rebel outlaw heroes. Fighting an unjust system. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

In "Mafia at My Back" Livia learns not to ignore the mafia after she sees they set fire to the harvest of wheat and the straw bales. She met with the mafia and they assigned her a new field guard, one they wanted, one that could kill. #antimafianewmedia #celi3

[Concetta @CMariaRose]

In "Mafia at My Back we see how resilient Livia starts off. When she received anonymous letters from the mafia threatening her to fire or hire people on her land, she kept it to herself so she didn't seem weak. Later she realized not to ignore the mafia #antimafianewmedia #celi3

In the Golden Key we learn that money equals freedom. If you have money you can get away with anything. Much like the priest got away with the murder that occurred in his garden. All he had to do was pay off the judge with an expensive golden key. #antimafianewmedia #celi3
