Detroit Mob Confidential

This film explores the history of Detroit’s La Cosa Nostra Family, which, in many ways, is the most successful crime family in the United States. In addition to law enforcement and media sources, former associates reflect on the past and their work with Detroit Mafia members in sports gambling and other criminal activities. Several hundred unique and never-seen-before surveillance photographs from Federal law enforcement are used as well as family photos of Don Joe Zerilli on his Grosse Pointe estate. “Detroit Mob Confidential” is the first and only documentary made about America’s most secretive and most successful Mafia family. Beginning in 1912 and finishing in 2009, “Detroit Mob Confidential” is a must-see film for any student of American history, crime buffs, and Detroiters of all ages and backgrounds. The running time is 79 minutes and it will be shown at the Detroit Historical Museum.
