1991-2000

VITO AND THE OTHERS is the groundbreaking film which drew international attention to the problem of neglected youth and street crime in poverty-stricken Naples. The film’s opening moments are startling and deeply disturbing. A despairing Rosario has just murdered his wife and daughter at the dinner table on New Year’s Eve. Somehow, Vito quietly convinces his father to drop the gun, spare their lives and call the police. Placed in the custody of sexually abusive relatives, Vito is left free to roam the trash-strewn back streets of Naples where he and his friends engage in drug abuse, prostitution and petty crime. Ably acted by a large cast of nonprofessional street kids, VITO AND THE OTHERS is a heartrending portrait of innocents without a future.

This is a documentary upon which The Magdalene Sisters by Peter Mullan was made. It shows testimonies of Martha Cooney, Christina Mulcahy and the others. Basically, if you have seen the movie there is nothing new or different here, except maybe for the experience of seeing and getting a bit closer to real life victims of the asylums. The documentary was made in 1998. for Channel Four and was a part of Testimony films series.

The whole experience of watching comes very closely to the feeling everyone probably had when they read that last asylum was shut down in 1996 at the end of the movie. It just makes it closer to you.Read More »
