I already have a similar post in the movies forum, BUT given how much investigative writer/journalist(?) Roberto Saviano is under constant death threats/24 hour bodyguard surveillance, it seems the Naples-based mobsters aren't going to let this muckraking novelist go off quietly, even by Christmas--especially with its (The Camorra gang) implications with local corrupt officials, possible racial violence (scroll down the part about the slaughter of 6 African immigrants), and possibly (as depicted from one of its film trailers), its involvement with Chinese operated sweatshops.

Did I mention that Gomorra is slated for the Oscars?

I can't blame Saviano for trying to live in defiance against the Neopolitan's fear tactics on him, as described in La Repubblica.
