One Hundred Steps (2000)

"One Hundred Steps" is a riveting tale set in the quaint Sicilian town of Cinisi, where the distance between the Impastatos' home and that of Tano Badalamenti, an infamous Mafia boss, is a mere hundred steps. This narrative brings to life the audacious story of Peppino Impastato, a young left-wing firebrand who dared to challenge the Mafia's iron grip during a time when its mere existence was widely denied by many, including influential politicians. Using the power of his voice and the reach of a small local radio station, Peppino artfully employs ironic humor to unmask Badalamenti's criminal empire and the entire Mafia system. However, in 1978, his fight against the underworld abruptly ends when he perishes in an explosion at the young age of 30. Dismissed as an accident or suicide by the authorities, his friends refuse to accept such a conclusion, believing in a more sinister truth. This is a true story that refuses to be forgotten. Over two decades after Peppino's death, his case is revived, while Badalamenti faces conviction for drug trafficking in the USA. "One Hundred Steps" is an inspiring testimony of one man's brave defiance against a criminal underworld, etched forever in the annals of Cinisi's history.

One Hundred Steps is a drama movie featuring Luigi Lo Cascio and directed by Marco Tullio Giordana.
