Sons of Honour
BySophia Luvarà
In the most violent region of Italy – Calabria – the ‘Ndrangheta mafia rules. One of the few who dares to stand up against the mafia is the President of the juvenile court, Roberto Di Bella. He took a drastic step by starting a re-education programme titled “Free to Choose”. The programme separates teenage boys from their mafia families to break a generational cycle of criminality. The goal is straightforward: to show the teenager, who has been groomed for a life of violence and criminality, that there is another way of life. Sons of Honour is an epic coming-of-age drama that follows the crusade of Roberto Di Bella, a man living under protection 24/7. Through him and his team of the Juvenile Court, we will meet the sons of some of the most dangerous men in Italy.
