2019 - 3: Mafia Showdown

Reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy and director Nick Blakemore visit southern Italy to meet a fearless TV reporter who's taking on Mafia drug-dealers and gangsters. Vittorio Brumotti is world famous as a daredevil cyclist whose death-defying exploits range from jumping from rock to rock in the Grand Canyon to riding the arches of high-altitude bridges. But Brumotti also has another way of getting his adrenaline fix. He's a reporter for one of Italy's top-rating TV shows, working with an undercover team and confronting Mafia drug-dealers and gangsters. 'This is the sharp razor blade that makes you feel alive,' he tells Guru-Murthy.
