Synopsis:

'Sbirri', Italian slang for the police, is the story of a well-known TV journalist who after the death of his son through ecstasy, decides to follow the drug squad in their fight against drug trafficking in Milan. The film takes us on his 'real' journey in the world of drugs and his desperate search to find a valid reason, someone to blame for his son's pointless death and at the same time, for his sense of inadequacy as a parent. It's a journey in this incredible underworld where people from all social classes and thousands of young people are being constantly entrapped and where unknown heroes every day put their lives at risk in their battle against crime. All that is shown in the film is true.

Newshound Matteo Gatti infiltrates the ranks of Milan's anti-drugs squad to report on the social poison that is corrupting Italian cities: drug dealing. The film successfully combines events filmed live by the Milanese police and the personal story of Matteo, whose teenage son dies after taking ecstasy.

This tough, visceral thriller from Italian director Roberto Burchielli concerns a cadre of undercover police officers who spend their days battling drug dealers and find their lives shaped by the personal and professional activities of a local journalist.
