I watched Marco Tullio Jordan’s 2000 film One Hundred Steps. This is the story of the life of a real person - a Sicilian journalist, radio host and politician Giuseppe (Pepino) Impastato. Coming from a family with close ties to the local mafia, Impastato nevertheless engaged in a completely different business, he became fond of leftist ideas and began to denounce the mafia, and did it completely politically incorrect towards it, which even attracted the wrath of his father, who drove him out of the house. Together with his friends, he organized a local radio station with which he conducted daily programs denouncing and ridiculing the mafia. When he put himself forward as a candidate for municipal elections, the mobster ran out of patience and was brutally murdered in 1978 at the age of 30. I read that in the elections he was voted for and he was posthumously elected to the municipality, his funeral was held with a large crowd of people. However, the main mobster Badalamenti waited a long time for revenge, only in 1996 the murder investigation was resumed, he was arrested in 1997 and only in 2002 he was sentenced to life imprisonment. The film was shot well, very successfully selected the lead actor Luigi Lo Cacho.
