Gomorrah	comment	Gomorrah (Gomorra in Italian) is a 2008 Italian film directed by Matteo Garrone, based on the book by Roberto Saviano, who also collaborated on the screenplay. It deals with the Camorra (a traditional Mafia-esque criminal organization based in the southern Italian region of Campania, in and around the city of Naples), in particular, the Casalesi clan and their business.The movie tells five stories of individuals who think they can make their own compact with Camorra. Don Ciro (Gianfelice Imparato) is a middleman bean-counter employed by the Camorra who distributes money to the families of imprisoned clan members. Totò (Salvatore Abruzzese) is a 13-year-old grocery delivery boy who join the mob, but in the meanwhile earns a few euros picking up shopping for a local woman whose husband appears to be "away". Roberto (Carmine Paternoster) is a graduate student who works for Franco (Toni Servillo), a businessman who offers dumping grounds for toxic waste in the countryside of southern Italy. Pasquale (Salvatore Cantalupo) is a Camorra tailor who works for Iavarone (Gigio Morra) presiding over vast sweatshops: engine rooms for the fashion industry. Marco (Marco Macor) and Ciro (Ciro Petrone) are two brash teenagers, obsessed with gangster movies like Scarface and with the desire of becoming bosses themselves independently of the local clan.Not to be confused with Gomorra, a 2014 television series loosely based on the same book and created by Saviano himself, but unrelated to the film. Nor should it be confused for Goncharov, a "movie" that spawned from an OCR misreading this movie's name.

Gomorrah / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Scampia and Secondigliano, just like in Real Life. Especially Scampia that is regarded as a ghetto and is the biggest open-air drug market of Europe. In general these areas have enormous social problems: high unemployment, truancy and drop-out rate from school, drugs and the pervasiveness of organized crime.
