Synopsis

Crime is the family tradition
An insider's view of the New York Mafi.a A film adaptation of Gay Talese's best-selling book, 'Honor Thy Father' presents an insider's view of a powerful New York family of crime - the Bonanno organisation. The rise and fall during the 60s of Joseph 'Joe Bananas' Bonanno and his heir apparent, Salvatore, is chronicled with telling reality, including the famous 'Banana War'. Not only does the film reveal many of the esoteric secrets of the Mafia, but it also portrays genuine personalities who existed on a bizarre limb of contemporary society. People who kept machine guns in their garages long with bicycles, tools and garden hoses! 'Honor Thy Father' is a true family story with all the loves, hates and problems of family life, but in this case the overriding bond is a tradition of crime.
