Youngstown gets first look at new documentary about the city
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio- Youngstown native Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini debuted his new documentary about the city before a hometown crowd Tuesday.
The film, entitled "Youngstown: Still Standing," is a collaboration between producer Mancini and executive producer Jim Napoli, who is also from Youngstown.
"It's Youngstown. The good, the bad and the ugly. But it's a pretty damn good town and we're proud to be from here," Mancini said.
Napoli said everything about the movie is a reflection of the city.
"Everybody in the film is from Youngstown, all the music is from Youngstown. And I think you'll find it not only educational, particularly the historical aspects, but also I think you'll find it very entertaining," Napoli said.
The film will make its global premiere Wednesday at the Cleveland Film Festival.
