L'oro di Scampia (The Gold of Scampia) is based on a true story, adapted from Gianni Maddaloni's book, La mia vita sportiva (My Life in Sports). Scampia is a suburb made up of massive public housing blocks north of Naples. Camorra criminals rule the area and make life very difficult for Enzo Capuano, a hospital worker, who runs a Judo school in his spare time. Against all odds, Enzo is mostly successful in keeping kids from joining the Camorra, and sees his son, Toni, win the gold medal in Judo at the Olympics in Sydney. Toni's name in real life is Pino Maddaloni.
