A Millennial History on organised crime, undermining in all corners of society, dangerous myth-making and the powerful Sicilian mantra that rose from this fight.

Joanna and Catinca were born in Romania, during the final years of the dictatorship of Nicolai Ceausescu. Catinca always lived in Romania, Joanna was adopted into America when she was 4.
They introduce us to their grim blueprints: a regime that combines elements of the Hunger Games, the Handmaid's tale and North Korea. Complete with the cult of the Great Leader, forced pregnancies, full state control & a lack of everything, including human touch & contact.
Part 1 of 3.

Catinca and Joanna talk us through the Romanian revolution -which was indeed televised- & the Wild West of the 90s. They reconstruct the way people adapted to massive changes in society and in their relationships: coming from a culture of fear & scarcity. They offer us a new, unapologetic view on cultural concepts of entitlement & adoption and a practical guide to the development of your own moral compass.
