In hiding - Roberto Saviano

The Neapolitan crime syndicate, the Camorra, has said it wants a young writer dead by Christmas, because he has exposed how they really do business.

Increasingly it's brave individuals - not the Italian state - who are taking on the Camorra, by breaking the code of silence and stripping away the glamour that surrounds organised crime in Italy.

For Assignment, Pascale Harter travels to southern Italy to talk to the people caught up in the deadly battle against the Camorra.
