The Good Mothers
Based on a true story, "The Good Mothers" recounts the lives of three women who dared to defy the ‘Ndrangheta mafia: Lea Garofalo's daughter Denise, Maria Concetta Cacciola and Giuseppina Pesce. Helping them is the prosecutor Anna Colace, who had an intuition as soon as she arrived in Calabria: to defeat the ‘Ndrangheta clans, she needs to focus on the women. It is a risky strategy, as the ‘Ndrangheta is infamous and feared for its iron fist and insidious power. "The Good Mothers" follows Denise, Giuseppina, and Maria Concetta in their attempt to free themselves from the criminal power and collaborate with the authorities.
