Sea of Rage. Episode 5: Red Threads

Sea of Rage
In this episode, we continue our reporting from the area of Gioia Tauro. We meet journalist Michele Albanese who lives under police protection these days. And discover the reach and connections of the Italian Ndrangheta mafia across Europe. From the reporting the differences and red threads connecting Barbate and Gioia Tauro become manifest.
Sea of Rage is a reportage podcast dealing with the borderless narco-trafficking business as seen from the perspective of ordinary people who live in two towns in Southern Europe: Barbate (Andalusìa, Spain) and Gioia Tauro (Calabria, Italy). Over the past few decades, Barbate and Gioia Tauro have become entry points for hashish and cocaine into Europe. But why have these towns become such pivotal places for drug trafficking? And what does it mean to live, day in day out, next door to such dark and murky businesses?
Sea of Rage is an adaptation of the homonymous co-production between Podium Podcast and Chora Media, released in September 2024 under the Spanish and Italian language titles Mar de rabia (Spanish, Podium Podcast) and Mare di rabbia (Italian, Chora Media).

Ep.3: La Piana

Nel 1991 a Polistena, nel cuore della piana di Gioia Tauro, un commando armato cerca di uccidere i vertici di una famiglia criminale della zona, i fratelli Versace. La strage avviene proprio davanti al simbolo del loro potere, il palazzo Versace. Dei tre fratelli, solo uno sopravvive. Il palazzo viene così confiscato e dato in gestione alla parrocchia presidiata da don Pino Demasi, referente di Libera per la piana. Diviene un centro aperto alla comunità e un simbolo di resistenza all'ndrangheta, ma questo non fa desistere l'unico Versace rimasto dal vivere proprio lì davanti. Nel terzo episodio, tra le strade di Polistena, cerchiamo di comprendere l'organizzazione criminale che fa del controllo del territorio il suo più grande punto di forza.
