Next Episode of American Godfathers: The Five Families is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
American Godfathers: The Five Families, executive produced and narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Michael Imperioli is a three-part, six-hour documentary series exploring the inception, rise, and fall of New York City's five Mafia families who over a fifty-plus-year period had a hand in every facet of organized crime in America from bootlegging and drug trafficking to extortion and gambling. Based upon Selwyn Raab's New York Times best-seller Five Families: The Rise, Decline and Resurgence of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empires, American Godfathers: The Five Families traces the extensive history of the Mafia beginning with its early ties to Sicily. The history and subsequent breakdown of the "omerta" code coupled with the ever-changing violent power struggles within each of the five families is vividly chronicled throughout each two-hour episode. Through investigative archival images, footage, audio recordings, and recreation as well as new, candid on-camera interviews with authors including Raab himself, historians, experts, law enforcement, witnesses, and former mafia affiliates, viewers will get an inside look at the inner workings of the most powerful criminal organization of the twentieth century.
Follows the American Mafia from their early development in New York City neighborhoods through Prohibition, to the boom days of the 1950's. It explores how public violence, involvement in the drug trade, and appearances at government hearings affected the families' operations and conflicted with their alleged code of honor.
Rise of The New Dons focuses on the deadly conflict between the Families' old guard and a new generation of younger, American-born, mobsters willing to defy the authority of the bosses and the long-established rules in order to fulfill their own ambitions of power, wealth, and revenge.
The Last Don shows how a decidedly new, more aggressive commitment by law enforcement to "eradicate" the mafia forces the families to find creative ways to stay in business and out of jail. But it's not as easy as it's been in the past and some are willing to throw it all away, once and for all.
