The Sicilian Girl

Italy

The true-life story of a willful girl who, after watching her father and brother murdered by the mafia, turns states evidence and fights back against the deeply entrenched system.

Strong film. Helped by casting an actress who actually looks like the real-life girl even though she was ordinary looking. Structured as a thriller and, since I didn't know how it resolved, it worked as one. Solid in all respects.
