Youngstown: Still Standing

Youngstown, Ohio, often burdened with a tarnished image, has been labeled as Steel Town, Crime Town USA, and Murder Town Ohio. Nowadays, however, locals simply refer to it as Ytown. This documentary provides a platform for Ytown’s residents to share their narratives of resilience, addressing topics like the decline of the steel industry, the impact of the Italian mafia, corruption, murders, the surprising number of successful professional athletes, and the daily life in this working-class community.
