What truly set Rocky Film Co apart for Robert was our commitment to integrity; we carefully avoided glorifying his past association with the Gambino Crime Family.

Robert’s concerns centered on the risk of overshadowing the powerful message of personal redemption with sensationalized depictions of his former life. Rocky Film Co’s approach was to honor his story, emphasizing growth and life change while maintaining the essence of his profound spiritual awakening. This dedication to preserving the true spirit of Robert’s story is a testament to our expertise in crafting narratives that strike a balance between honesty and inspiration.

“Redeemable” is a gripping short documentary that delves into the tumultuous life of Robert Borelli, once a rising star within the infamous Gambino Crime Family. At the height of his criminal acclaim, Robert grappled with a relentless addiction to drugs, a perilous path that jeopardized not only his standing among his mobster brethren but also his role as a father. His world spiraled closer to destruction as he faced a grim reality: the imminent threat of a fatal overdose or a brutal silencing by the very men he called family.

In a poignant twist, salvation emerged from the innocent plea of his young daughter, igniting a powerful transformation. Her heartfelt words became a catalyst for Robert’s extraordinary journey to redemption, culminating in a profound spiritual rebirth through Jesus Christ. “Redeemable” captures this story of despair turned hope, chronicling a miraculous turnaround that transcends the confines of crime and addiction.
