An inimitable American epic in praise of the Mafia and patriarchy, The Godfather draws a historical portrait of an immigrant Italian family, the Corleones, during 1945-1955 as they take over the underground world and the power struggle within the family itself. A genuine epic about blood, honour, revenge, family ties, power, and immigration, The Godfather is considered one the greatest films in the history of cinema. The Godfather is screened from its digitally restored copy in honour of its 50th anniversary.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
