Documentary about the Franzese family

The Franzese family is one of the most iconic families in the history of organized crime in the United States, with an influence that spanned several decades. In this video, we dive deep into their fascinating story, centered around two legendary figures: John “Sonny” Franzese and his son, Michael Franzese.

John Franzese, the ruthless underboss of the Colombo crime family, ruled the New York underworld with an iron fist for years, becoming a key figure in the Italian-American Mafia. Despite numerous trials, prison sentences, and repeated attempts to bring him down, Sonny remained an almost untouchable figure in organized crime. Discover how this feared man considered one of the oldest living mafiosi until his death at the age of 103 managed to maintain his power while navigating the traps of the justice system.

His son, Michael Franzese, nicknamed “the Prince of the Mafia,” followed in his father’s footsteps and became a captain in the Colombo family. At the height of his power, he was making millions of dollars through illegal activities, most notably the famous gasoline tax fraud scheme. Yet Michael defied all expectations by leaving the Mafia in the 1990s an extremely rare decision in a brutal world where the usual outcome is prison or death.

In this video, we explore how he managed to escape that dangerous life, avoid Mafia retaliation, and reinvent himself as a public speaker and media personality especially through his highly successful YouTube channel.

The rise, fall, and redemption of Michael Franzese offer a rare and compelling look into the hidden world of the Mafia, revealing the sacrifices, betrayals, and personal struggles behind the image of power and glory. Through interviews, archival footage, and in-depth analysis, we break down the complex legacy of the Franzese family and how they shaped the history of American organized crime.
