'Soprano State' documentary premieres tonight



The film is based on a book by veteran Gannett/New Jersey Press Media journalists Bob Ingle and Sandy McClure, according to the Asbury Park Press.

In the trailer, above, "'Welcome to New Jersey'" postcards flash on the screen, along with newspaper articles detailing the downfall of some of the state’s most powerful people — including elected officials of both political parties, businessmen, religious leaders and those with alleged mob ties. News clips feature those arrested being led away in handcuffs," the newspaper said yesterday in this story.

Guests at tonight’s New York City premiere of the 90-minute film are expected to include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — the longest-serving former U.S. attorney for the state, a contingent from the FBI, laywers, journalists and photographers who covered the cases, and industry professionals, the paper says.

  1. What no mention of Newspaper's people, with ties to the mob. Sam Horvitz must be rolling in his grave!
