a movie that is in production. It will be titled Blood Covenant. I don't know when it will be done, but you will want hear this guy's story.
I was at a Christian men's conference this weekend, and one of the speakers was Michael Franzese (google the name - he is the real thing). He was a capo (captain) in the Colombo crime family and was their biggest earner (at one point pulling in a estimated $10 million a week from his gas tax theft scam).
He has the very rare distinction of leaving the Mafia, and still being alive. To make it more miraculous, he did so without entering any witness protection program. It happened when he was in jail, and a guard gave him a Bible. At first, he threw it against the cell wall, but later started reading it. When he came to Proverbs 3:5-6, his life change and he committed his life to the Lord. Since then, he has devoted his life to speaking at various groups, and in particular in street gang diversion programs.
I am informed that they are in the process of making his story into a movie. It should be great. If he is ever speaking in your area, go see him.
