Marco Amenta's 2009's film The Sicilian Girl (La Siciliana Ribelle)showcased for San Diego Italian Film Festival's "Anti-Mafia: A Testimony of Resistance" series. This film brings to light the story of a young woman who takes a courageous step toward breaking the unspoken law of silence, omerta, which strengthens the hold that groups like the Mafia have on society. Her actions are doubly important since they are those of a woman; nevertheless, the moment she steps into a police station to "rebel" against the impositions of the Mafia and a male-centered society, she is targeted for death.
