Gomorrah
"is a 2008 Italian film directed by Matteo Garrone, based on the book by Roberto Saviano. It deals with the Neapolitan crime syndicate
known as the Camorra, which is based inNaples and Caserta in the southern Italian region of Campania...
Roberto (Carmine Paternoster) is a graduate who works in waste management. His boss Franco (Toni Servillo) illegally dumps toxic waste
such as chromium and asbestos at sites such as disused quarries. During an operation, a drum of toxic chemicals is accidentally spilled on a driver.
Franco refuses to call an ambulance, and when the workers refuse to handle the waste, Franco instead hires children to drive the trucks.
When he sees firsthand the harmful effects of illegal toxic waste dumping on people's health, Roberto can no longer contain his disgust and quits...
At the end of the film, statements are made regarding the activities of the Camorra. One allegation is that illicit money is being laundered
through the rebuilding of the World Trade Center."
