John Gotti, famously known as the 'Teflon Don', experienced a dramatic rise within the notorious Gambino crime family. His story is a significant part of the Mafia history explored in the documentary series "American Godfathers: The Five Families".

This series is executive produced and narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Michael Imperioli. Spread across three parts with a total run time of six hours, the documentary delves deep into the inception, rise, and eventual fall of New York City’s five Mafia families. These families wielded substantial influence over organized crime in America, engaging in activities ranging from bootlegging and drug trafficking to extortion and gambling over a period of more than fifty years.

Based on Selwyn Raab’s New York Times bestseller "Five Families: The Rise, Decline and Resurgence of America’s Most Powerful Mafia Empires", the series offers a thorough exploration of Mafia history. The journey begins with the Mafia's early connections to Sicily and takes the viewer through the eventual breakdown of the "omerta" code of silence. The series also covers the violent power struggles within each family.

Each two-hour episode is packed with investigative archival images, footage, audio recordings, and re-creations, along with candid on-camera interviews. These interviews feature authors, including Raab himself, along with historians, experts, law enforcement officers, witnesses, and former mafia affiliates, providing viewers with an in-depth look at one of the most powerful criminal organizations of the twentieth century.
