Aye Write! Federico Varese & Alex Perry - Goodfellas & Good Mothers

Today, mafias operate across the globe, from Hong Kong to New York, these vast organisations spread their tentacles into politics, finance and everyday life. Criminologist Federico Varese draws on a lifetime’s research in Mafia Life to give us access to some of the world’s most secretive societies. In 2009, prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti realises that the key to bringing down the world’s most powerful mafia, the ’Ndrangheta is to free its women and allow them to speak out and testify. In The Good Mothers, the stakes could not be higher. The mafiosi are fighting for their existence. The women are fighting for their lives. Not all will survive.
