Genovese Portrait of a Crime Family
The Godfathers
Part 1 of 4 A gritty look into the world of mobsters and turncoats from Charles 'Lucky' Luciano to 'The Teflon Don' John Gotti. How did the Mafia grow from a group of gangs into a multinational criminal organisation? When the mob entered the heroin business in the 60s, a spiral of violence was unleashed.
Part 2 of 4 By the late 1970s, the Sicilian mafia was smuggling millions of dollars worth of heroin into the US every year. They had a unique method of distribution via Sicilian-owned pizzerias across the United States. The racket became known as the Pizza Connection. The vast profits to be made from heroin led to savage violence as competing mafia dons and families sought a bigger piece of the pie. In the US, it led to the assassination of a greedy godfather in broad daylight. In Sicily, a murderous clan known as the Corleonesi - from the town of Corleone, which gave its name to Marlon Brando's character in 'The Godfather' - blasted their way to the top of the mafia. Ultimately, a battle would rage on the streets of the US between a new breed of ruthless mafioso and a new kind of policeman, prepared to risk everything to infiltrate the mafia. With the help of FBI agents like Joe Pistone (aka Donnie Brasco) and Carmine Russo the Mafia's drug enterprise would be exposed and eventually dismantled.
