Man Alive: Mafia

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives.

This week: Mafia
The oldest criminal organisation in the world. With its roots in the poverty and misery of Sicily, with its twentieth-century manifestation in the waterfront rackets and drug-smuggling gangs of America. For more than 300 years Mafia has plagued the forces of law and order. After a new purge, many of the alleged leaders will be brought to trial this autumn. But will this finish the Mafia? Will its power ever be broken?
