Power, money, and blood: These are the values the residents of the province of Naples and Caserta confront every day. They have practically no choice and are forced to obey the rules of the “System,” the Camorra. Only a lucky few can even think of leading a normal life. Five stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly invented world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality. Italian, Mandarin, and French with English subtitles. The film screens on Friday, October 16 at 9:05 p.m., Saturday, October 17 at 12: 45 and 5:15 p.m., and Sunday, October 18 at 3:15 p.m. For more information visit www.cosfordcinema.com.

Three years in the making, this cinéma-vérité feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger is the epic story of one of the world’s largest and most controversial environmental lawsuits.

Presenting a complex situation from multiple viewpoints, the film subverts the conventions of advocacy filmmaking, exploring a complicated situation from all angles while bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus.
