Letizia Battaglia in the video spoke about her first time being at the scene of a death and how it stuck with her. It brought me to tears and opened my eyes to the horrors photographers and journalists go through everyday for their job. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
Nu Juorno Buono’s music video portrays a day in the life of a mafia free society. It was clear to see the peace that is felt by people in various places. The translation is “A Good Day” and was represented well in the video. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
In last weeks classes I found myself thinking of what I would feel if I was in a reporters shoes reporting on the mafia. I would be terrified to never feel safe and risk my life for a passion. It makes me respect reporters even more now #celi2#antimafianewmedia
I think storytelling is crucial to spreading awareness/ teaching life lessons in a way that people can relate to and take away important morals. It is scary to think however that as we tell stories they can be fabricated and changed as years go by. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
I appreciate monuments honoring those we have lost and it broke my heart to learn that a child was killed so close to one. However I am confused as to why they wouldn’t put it in a safer area? I do get that it is the location of death. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
The Pizzo’s impact makes me nervous to think about if I was in the position of those paying the Pizzo. The fact that they have such an intense grasp on local business owners by making them pay even though they are the ones as the threat. #antimafianewmedia#celi2
The term Slacktivism never really clicked before until we defined it in class. Now that we have, I notice it all over. I find it almost irritating now because people truly think they make an impact this way. #antimafianewmedia#celi2
The terrifying fact that the media has a way of almost breaking Omertà but also allows dangerous mafia members to be portrayed as heroes for anyone and everyone to see. The false portrayal influences not only adults but children and promotes crime. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
Una Vita Tranquilla fascinated me in many scenes due to the way the filmmakers displayed the struggle between mafia family and blood family. You could see the clear divide and danger of combining the two but the hurt that came with the divide. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
The first half of “Una Vita Tranquilla” makes me wonder what the father did to have to drop everything including his son, move to Germany and live a quieter life. I’m assuming he was part of the mafia but then how did he get out? #celi2#antimafianewmedia
The ending confused me a bit because Lucia walks away from the man who loves her, and from a change in her life. It shows how the mafia has a tight grip on its members especially those in power. #celi2#antimafianewmedia
