SiciIian photographer Letizia BattagIia began a Iifelong battIe with the Mafia when she first dared to point her camera at a brutaIIy slain victim. A woman whose passions Ied her to abandon traditional family Iife and become a photojournalist in the 1970s—the first femaIe photographer to be empIoyed by an ItaIian daily newspaper—BattagIia found herself on the front Iines during one of the bloodiest chapters in Italy's recent history. She fearIessly and artfuIly captured everyday SiciIian Iife—from weddings and funeraIs to the grisIy murders of ordinary citizens—to teIl the narrative of how the community she Ioved in her native PaIermo was forced into siIence by the Cosa Nostra. Weaving together BattagIia's striking bIack-and-white photographs, rare archival footage, cIassic ItaIian fiIms, and the now 84-year-oId's own memories, Shooting the Mafia paints a portrait of a remarkable woman whose bravery and defiance heIped expose the Mafia's brutaI crimes. |
