A brave leader organises Sicilian peasants against the local Mafia.
Following a series of acclaimed shorts and a documentary, the Taviani Brothers’ narrative feature debut was co-directed with early collaborator Valentino Orsini. Set in rural Sicily, this powerful drama depicts the real-life story of a union organiser who attempts to lead peasant farmers in revolt against the local Mafia. In its cinematic sweep and gritty authenticity, the film evinces the influence of Roberto Rossellini.
