The first movie that will be shown this evening is Italian film La Nostra Terra (Mafia and Red Tomatoes) at 7pm.The 2014 box-office hit tackles the issue of mafia power over communities with redemptive joy and a smile, based on the real life work of the Libera Association.No sane Italian would intentionally cross a Mafia boss, which says a lot about the motley crew of would-be organic farmers in La Nostra Terra, who are determined to work the land confiscated by the government from capo (mafia boss) Nicola Sansone. Unseen powers, orchestrated by Sansone from jail, block them at every turn. So they enlist the help of the Anti-Mafia Board who send Filippo, a neurotic regulator.

Filippo is not encouraged by the strange group who make up the co-op, but the Boss's own farmer, a cynic named Cosimo, injects some knowhow into the operation. Amidst the quarrelling, the co-op members find ways to cooperate, and they finally produce a harvest.
