Sugar Wars - The Rise of the Cleveland Mafia

About This Movie

Sugar Wars - The Rise of the Cleveland Mafia is an intriguing dive into the underbelly of organized crime in Ohio. It’s not just a typical documentary; it’s a real-life confession from Angelo Lonardo, who, at 90, peels back the layers of the Cleveland Mafia. The atmosphere is heavy, sometimes almost suffocating, filled with a sense of impending doom as you hear the stories of betrayal and power struggles. The pacing is deliberate, letting the weight of each revelation sink in. What’s distinctive here is the personal touch of Lonardo’s narrative, blending history with emotion. You get a raw, unvarnished look at the motivations behind the crime, not just the acts themselves.
