There was plenty of interesting commentary from ethnic Italian historians and descendants of immigrants. The crime stuff was in the script.

There was a fascinating account from a woman who was kidnapped and held for ransom as a 6-year-old by Black Handers.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
