It's gritty and dramatic but classy and finally almost transcendent... a fitting tribute to a brave woman.

Synopsis
The Sicilian Girl is inspired by the true story of Rita Atria, a 17-year-old girl who suffers the loss of her father and brother, slain members of the Cosa Nostra in Sicily. Unwilling to grieve in silence, Rita collaborates with anti-Mafia police investigators to bring her family’s murderers to justice. But in order to honour her family, she must betray another – putting herself, and anyone willing to help her, in grave danger.Theatrical Release Date
