Distanced from her daughter, Jade finds solace in the hidden world of online liaisons where she uncovers the passion and connection she's craved.

SHOOTING THE MAFIA
Directed by by Kim Longinotto and produced by Niamh Fagan for Lunar Pictures unflinching feature documentary Shooting the Mafia, explores the stark reality of life, and death, under the Corleonesi Mafia.
"Photographer Letizia Battaglia stood up to the Mafia and it is through her lens that we enter this world of ritualised slaughter, omertà, semi-religious oppression and feudal control. The scale of the mafia’s brutality and power is revealed through a combination of rare archive footage, newsreel and personal photographs and memories. The power of Letizia's photography and the bravery and dedication of people like her helped to finally bring to an end the brutal reign of a bunch of small town thugs who's reign of fear reached as far as the Italian presidency."
