SURPLUS. Southern Italy, 2008/2010.
18th September 2008, a Mafia clan kill six African migrants in the country side near Napoli.
The murderers were charged for racial massacre: the killing was a bold statement to show Mafia’s intolerance to African minorities.
A story of courage, written in sweat and blood.
A desperate story of people who escape war, hunger and violence via clandestine routes only to end up facing exploitation, deprivation of rights and even worse the Mafia.
