The Camorra is an Italian organised crime network more powerful and violent than the Mafia - and now, thanks to Garrone's multi-award winning 2008 film Gomorrah, equally infamous. In Sadokan, the narrator is a resigned victim of the Camorra. Though fiction, Sandokan is horribly, devastatingly real, presenting an uncompromising description of a world under savage occupation, the true combination of backwardness, violence and ambition that locks small-town southern Italy under the control of organised crime.
