THE INFECTED DISTRICT

When a detective finds the old case files for Buffalo's Canal Street District, or "The Infected District," he explores the city's dark past, discovering crimes that occurred within the historically notorious area along Buffalo's waterfront in the late 19th century. Among the brawls, drugs, liquor, prostitution, and gambling that occurred in the area, the most brutal, bloody, and sensational crimes were the Gaffney Shooting, Morrisey Stabbing, and John Ott Murder, which come alive in THE INFECTED DISTRICT, a historical noir short film by Joe Felong.

Produced under Squeaky Wheel's Buffalo Youth Media Institute 2006-2007 program. The film also earned Joe Felong's acceptance in to New York University's world-renowned Tisch School of the Arts.

Based on actual historical accounts from the book America's Crossroads: Buffalo's Canal Street/Dante Place "The Making of a City," by Michael Vogel, Edward Patton, and Paul Redding

Written, directed, and edited by Joe Felong

Narrated by Michael Loftus
