Über Sons of Sicily
Before the Mafia became an empire, it was a brotherhood born in the hills of Sicily. “Sons of Sicily” is a powerful documentary uncovering the forgotten roots of the infamous Castellammarese War — a violent mob conflict that shook New York in the 1930s and forever changed the face of organized crime in America.
Told through the lens of history, memory, and legacy, the film traces the path of Sicilian immigrants from the coastal town of Castellammare del Golfo to the brutal underworld of early 20th-century New York. Featuring expert interviews, rare archival footage, and immersive scenes shot on location in Sicily, this documentary explores the deeper forces of loyalty, tradition, and ambition that shaped generations of men — and gave rise to the American Mafia.
