Called by the archbishop of Palermo to lead the parish in his hometown of Brancaccio, just outside the city gates, Giuseppe Puglisi was able to build a community center in less than two years. Here, assisted by a group of young volunteers, he worked hard every day to try and save the lives of small innocent children. Soon he understood that to make a dent in that disintegrating structure he needed to do and give more. Doing more and giving more, meant going up against the inertia of the local powers. Inevitably his path will place him in a position of conflict with the interests of the mafia powers.
