    This was a very impactful account, by Marissa. The fact she changed her life around, despite all the odds being against her is something more people need to hear. It is possible to reinvent yourself and still be the same person, whilst understanding that there’s right and wrong.
    I totally understood the points she raised as things being ‘normal’ to her. She was a child, she grew up in that environment, she had to learn to see from a different perspective. I admire that in a person. Well done Marissa and thank you for sharing your story xxx

      In case of doing wrong then the station could be sued or loose their license.

    Honestly never knew 'Ndrangheta were active in the UK. It takes balls to speak about this life because she's basically dead woman walking, I really hope she stays safe and has a happy life, she's a good egg. Just a woman who wanted her dad back. Also the way her voice quietened when she started discussing the drugs shipments, habit I guess!
    Also surprised people are saying "this video shows it's not glamerous and you're fucked if you do this" - as an Italian from Rome I think TV shows have done that well enough. It's an oath for life there is no out you got a target on your back for your whole life and are forced into crime, it's not worth it.

    This was a great interview, but I do think some of what she said was a little disingenuous. Does she think her hands are clean? Indirectly, she is responsible for who knows how many deaths? I'm glad she is out of it and that she has a better life, but I think she has side stepped a lot of possibly unpalatable truths.

    slightly off topic, but i am jealous of how she describes her italian family. she's right-we simply don't have that broad sense of family community over here. i wish we did. i had a singaporean landlady once. we got onto the topic of family. she said she didn't understand the way we are over here. how we want to get away from our parents as soon as possible. how, when our parents are old, we don't have them come live with us (or indeed remain with us if we're already all together). i'm sure it does happen in the UK. but it's certainly not the culture.

    Just because she has a fancy English accent doesn't take away from what she's done. Drugs are used mainly by addicts who have been abused in some way. They use it to cope, or medicate. So don't underestimate the devastation she was a part of. She does seem to be aware. I liked the mob when they ran unions and made employers pay the proper wages. I got nothing against that because if you think a huge organization will pay you and give you proper work benefits, you're living in Fairey Tale Land...

    Sometimes you have to let your children fail. I sure as he'll wouldn't give my children drugs just bc they were addicted.

Sometimes it works and others times you become a drug lord xD her experience is valid and honestly I'm not mad bc I feel like anyone could fall into that way of life. Especially when you have a woman wanting to hold onto family that strongly.
