With unprecedented access to a man who lived and worked deep within this criminal organisation, viewers gain an intimate insight into the lifestyle of a made member – and how to make money off it.

This remarkable documentary captures how Michael has defied expectations to live and tell his story.

Michael intimately narrates his story, as well as offering up anecdotes from fellow members, to give audiences an unparalleled look inside this powerful gangster universe.
Travelling along with Michael from New York City’s Little Italy to Las Vegas, this documentary is an electrifying exploration of organised crime in America which should not be missed. With its unique insights from one of its most notorious members, this two hour film takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through one of America’s darkest organisations.
