EverymanThe Gigante Brothers: a Tale from Little Italy
1997 • E2 6 abr 1997
The first of eight documentaries looks at Father Louis Gigante, a Roman Catholic priest in New York, and his brother Vincent Gigante, who is accused of being the head of the Genovese organised crime family. Father Louis has not lived his life in his brother's shadow. As priest, politician and property developer, his work on behalf of the poor has transformed the South Bronx, but his controversial methods have led some to accuse him of using his family connections with organised crime to further his cause. Certainly he has not turned his back upon his roots. Father Louis will be there to offer comfort to his family as the FBI finally take his brother to court to face trial on charges of extortion and murder.
