What is The Good Mothers about?

The Good Mothers is a British-Italian crime drama series based on actual circumstances, revealing a compelling narrative against the backdrop of the formidable Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta mafia. This television adaptation draws from Alex Perry's novel that shares the same title, portraying the powerful alliance formed between three women with deep ties to the mafia and an audacious female prosecutor named Alessandra Cerreti. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to erode the roots of the criminal empire that has entwined their lives. Set in 2010, the storyline is triggered by the vanishing of Lea Garofalo, who alongside her daughter Denise, resolved to break away from the ‘Ndrangheta's clutches. Subsequently, the narrative explores the unfolding events as prosecutor Anna Colace employs a groundbreaking tactic to topple the mafioso hierarchy by recruiting its own female members into her strategic fold. The series, which premiered at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, delves into the complex dynamics of loyalty, power, and the pursuit of justice, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of those who dare to defy one of Italy's most secretive and dangerous criminal organizations.
