The Banana War: The Bloody Feud That Split the Mafia

Описание: In the mid-1960s, the Bonanno crime family erupted into a bloody civil war that shocked New York and exposed cracks in the Mafia’s secret world. Boss Joe Bonanno vanished, rival factions fought for control, and Brooklyn’s streets ran red. From the failed peace talks to the rise of Paul Sciacca, the kidnapping of Bill Bonanno, and the ultimate downfall of a once-powerful family, this documentary uncovers how the infamous “Banana War” changed the Mafia forever.
Watch till the end for the shocking twist: Joe Bonanno’s betrayal of omertà and the question of whether the Mafia ever truly fell—or if it’s still alive in the shadows today.
