Film Commission Torino Piemonte

The jail director Sergio Cosmai, supported by a few very loyal officers from the penitentiary police, managed to bring about a change in a prison where the bosses were used to making rules. The moral uprightness, determination, and courage he showed, however, led him to a progressive isolation: people from the judiciary, a large part of the institutional and political world, animated by the vibrant protests of the bosses who were forced to serve their sentences without the 'favors' and 'advantages' of the past, openly distanced themselves from the director. This did not stop Cosmai from pursuing justice. In this film we tell the story of a courageous man, a hero who breaks a tried and tested mechanism, restoring legality. A subject we know well, right down to the social and criminal dynamics that characterized the city of Cosenza and Calabria, territories devastated by the bloody violence of mafiosi who have almost always gone unpunished. With the film The Cosmai Murder we want to denounce this impunity, doing justice to a man who sacrificed his life for the good of the State.
