Produced by the North End Historical Society, Boston's North End: An Italian American Story is the first feature length, high definition film to chronicle the vibrant Italian American community that has called the North End of Boston home for well over 100 years. The documentary movie is based on historical records and interviews with Italian American North Enders and their descendants, ranging in age from 7 to 94, from around the Boston area.

Highlights include early political struggles, former World Welterweight Boxing Champion Tony DeMarco, and Stephen Puleo, author of "The Boston Italians," and "Dark Tide: The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919." It also features original music written especially for the film, home videos, and many photographs. The DVD cost is $20, plus $5 shipping. View the NEHS website for more information.
