‘Gomorrah’ Writer Roberto Saviano on Docuseries ‘The Man Who Wanted to Change the World,’ About Murdered Activist and Bhagwan Follower Mauro Rostagno
Roberto Saviano talks about doc 'The Man Who Wanted To Change the World' about activist and Bhagwan follower Mauro Rostagno, killed by Cosa Nostra.
Variety speaks to Saviano about the parallels between his being forced to live with police protection ever since his account of the inner workings of the Neapolitan Camorra crime syndicate was published – and the death threats that followed – and Rostagno’s carefree attitude in taking on the Sicilian mob. One of the things that really struck me was how when Rostagno went to Sicily he latched on to a small broadcaster [local TV station Radio Tele Cine] and turned it into a vehicle that provided real hard-hitting news. By the time they reached a verdict [Cosa Nostra boss Vincenzo Virga was condemned as the instigator 30 years after the murder] the criminal system on which Rostagno had been blowing the lid had been phased out.
